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 like his body type. I like his DLEBRON rating, I like his winshare and win score ratings and VORP. I like that he’ll be cheap as Hell and that we only need about 15 minutes for him to come in and be disruptive. He’s not great, but the value is there and the Mavs just don’t have many viable players like him.
