Assisted on 72.9% of his 2s. 96.4% of his 3s. Also not creating for others. 1.2 assists/2.4 potential assists. Two guys on the roster have similar numbers. DFS and Green. He is a high end finisher (catch and shoot or paint touches) not a shot creator or playmaker.
As of now he isn´t good enough in the post or in iso situations to justify a different approach and it´s not like a high end finisher has no value but the Mavs need a more reliable playmaker. Brunson is good but against long and athletic defenders (Clippers) he has a hard time. THJ is a streaky scorer and ideally more of a catch and shoot guy. Same for Richardson. Nice midrange game but not good enough to be a legit secondary ballhandler.
Your comment doesn't really refer to my point but I totally agree Mavs need another creator. I am beating that drum whole season long.
