He has been in the NBA for 7 seasons, and has even gotten full MLE or close to it. Yet he has never been used very much. He's coming off a season playing only 14 mpg.
He also doesn't seem to have much of a market for his services.
I don't know his game, but something isn't adding up. Why would he be a player to add, when he can't get minutes anywhere else? Help me out.
I can't really help either. It may be that he looks much better in highlights than what he actually is. I have no idea.
I do see some things that interest me. He is only 26, right? That might mean he is fully developed or he just needs to right team. I certainly don't see him ever being a starter on a contender. But he is probably a minimum guy or slightly over minimum. Is the risk worth it to gamble that he may have a jump in his game or be a insurance in case mavs have a bigger trade or injuries? I would prefer him over Oubre though. While Oubre is a talented player, I am not sure adding a score first non efficient scorer to play with two of the most efficient players in the NBA is a recipe for success.
