Just having a hard time when he is asked to defend the rim but that´s more about the Mavs lack of playable bigs. Not really on him.
That's just it though. I almost ALWAYS think, in his limited opportunities, he makes some sneaky good plays. But this last handful of games has been sufficient (at least to me) to prove that there's a lot more negative than positive. I mean they're just going at him nonstop, and he's a foul machine. I like that he hustles and plays hard (the team needs more of that) and sure, he'll surprise about once every 5 minutes or so, but I don't think there's any way to view him as a rotation player ever again.
