I don't think of him much differently to a shot happy Deandre Jordan. Not remotely suited to this teams style of play. Bringing in a guy who can't shoot purely to have someone physical next to KP I don't think will have the results some people think it will. They still need to have certain attributes that fit in. Being zero threat from deep isn't one of them.I tend to agree with this. The foundation of the Mavericks' offense is floor spacing, so, realistically, every player has to be able to shoot threes at at least a half-decent rate. It seems that either Drummond would have to learn to shoot threes, or Carlisle would have to re-design the offense to incorporate him as a second option. Don't really see it. However, I don't follow this player closely, so it is possible I am missing something.
