I dont know his contract details...I absolutely like his length and defense.
But man o man...his offense is worse than DFS's. The few times I have seen him put it on the floor and try and finish at the rim has been very bad. Maybe I just caught him at bad times.
I would just be very worried we get another player with major fundamental flaws. We gain size and length and defense...but I think its fair to say that Mavs need players with well rounded fundamentals. The past 4 years we have been stuck with many rotation players that have weird fundamental warts and it seems to be a real issue even if the players fit the system.
I like the idea of going cheaper for Jones than Wiggins....absolutely.
I think Herb's offense is better than DFS. He's been making small improvements to what he does on the court each season. I'd go so far as to say he's like a rich man's DFS, on offense and defense. He is also the "right" age, at 25yo.
