. . . PJ 6th man on a tanking team. If PJ doesn't improve the Mavs are in trouble.

Not really. 73 starts last season. 61 starts in 20-21. 57 starts as a rook in 19-20. Obviously disgruntled this year because the Hornets played hardball on his RFA contract. Between 34.8% and 38.6% shooting the long ball before this year’s regression. Always on 4.0 or more attempts per game. Reverting to form will be good enough to be worth his team-friendly contract. But at age 25, sure, he’s pretty likely to improve.
