Coming into the draft he was supposed to be one the best shooters, and so far that part of his game is non-existent. He just does not want to shoot a 3. Further, his handle as a guard is sloppy. There have been numerous occasions where he's just dribbled the ball off his foot or gotten ripped. Finally his passing game isn't bad, but because he can't really move around the perimeter due to subpar dribbling, and he doesn't seem interested in shooting, all of his passes are simple ones that don't really dictate the offense.
from the limited information I have, I would say his problem is that he is not really a PG but SG. This was even said in the scouting reports. Yet the Mavs are strictly playing him as PG. Perhaps because he is too small to survive as a SG. However, if you already have a big PG, you can perhaps survive with a small SG... Anycase, transition from SG to PG is very difficult, especially combined with the difficult transition from college to NBA basketball.

Yeah, sorry. In the post I was replying too you haven't provided that explanation yet.
