MacMahon seems to think Nembhard has a chance to stick. Obviously, if you watch the games, things often look much better when he's on the floor. But he's also small and has gotten himself into trouble quite a bit recently. I was really starting to think he may have a long career... overseas. Anyway, Macmahon talks to plenty of people I don't so I'm rethinking my position.
Interestingly, if you compare Nembhard's stats to his best-case outcome (who happens to be Tyus Jones) Nemby's numbers are actually better than Jones rookie numbers. And if you look at the 13 games he started in December Nemby's numbers are actually as good or better than Jones' season averages in the best year of his career, his 8th season!
I'm not ready to say the Mavs should cut someone to sign Nembhard but the rookie is back in the "maybe he's got something" category for me. And maybe Tyus Jones can teach him a thing or two.
