He's not a great passer when he decides to take the horse blinders off. I'm trying to cut him some slack as he was surrounded by units filled to the brim with g-leaguers but KP also only got two shots in the 4th. Both he and KP can put up big numbers but it really hasn't done much towards the success of this team. I'm leaning towards both of them being empty calories on the offensive end. If you had a starting five set, I'd probably overpay to keep him and let him reek havoc on second units, but this team is so far away from contention. I still put him a peg or two higher than THJ and KP who I'm completely out on.
JB is great, but flawed and it seems he has a somewhat limited ceiling. I personally think he has played better than Luka this year, but that isn't saying much as Luka's play has REALLY disappointed me this year. I personally would trade JB (as I would THJ and KP) this TDL or summer. The Mavs need a massive shakeup....just getting G league guys in here has been GREAT....thats how bad they need one.
