Dude didn't play for an entire year, and on top of that he missed out on all of the first year, new system chemistry that developed during his absence. I don't know if he'll ever get back to Carlisle's Hardaway, but I'm quite confident he'll work his way back to something much better than how he's looked during these first 7 games.
He's probably going to get traded, but to my thinking that's because he's a bit overqualified for the role he has here right now (when he's in rhythm, playing well).
Yes, the fit may be bit awkward but that doesn't mean it can't work out. We need it to work out. He is probably here for the full year and if he is not productive here it will be that much more harder to move him down the road. So we will need to live with the defensive lapses at times and the 1-10 shooting nights. Hopefully that goes with 37-39 three point shooting percentages and not 30-32 percentages.
