Yes I must believe in him more than you. And that’s okay. There’s no way for any of us to know what he can do right now, because we haven’t seen him play in a while. 6 months ago in a spot start he got 16 & 11. I don’t think he’s lost a step or anything. Probably overpaid, like DP over the years. But he lost his job and role when they got sabonis. I don’t expect him to be the reason the Mavs are successful but I don’t think he’ll be the reason the Mavs aren’t successful either.

Smitty, I like the way you are thinking and feel much the same about Holmes. I can't remember if I posted some of my thoughts as I usually delete them right after I write them, and they never see the light of day. Anywho, a lot on this board said he was washed and trash in 21-22, and I just don't agree.
Under Walton: 17 G 27:21 MIN 2.8 ORB 9.9 TRB 1.65 BLK 14.24 PTS 69% FG% 84% FT%
Gentry pre-trade: 20 G 24:18 MIN 1.9 ORB 6.3 TRB 0.95 BLK 9.75 PTS 68% FG% 68% FT%
(realize in this 20 game span he suffered 2 eye injuries including a lacerated eyeball from a Bamba elbow hence the goggle look)
TOTALS PRE-SABONIS TRADE
37 G 25:42 MIN 2.3 ORB 8.0 TRB 1.16 BLK 11.81 PTS 68% FG% 76% FT%
How many Mavs centers have sniffed over 11 pts / 8 reb / 1 block in the last 12 years? That would be 4. Tyson in 14-15, DAJ in 18-19, KP, and Wood. [Man, we've had some really crappy center play since the Championship.]
Then the Kings acquired Sabonis, and you know the rest. Mike Brown's offense is not really geared to Holmes's strengths, and Holmes was definitely in Brown's dog house. (I think I heard Holmes just stated he was "in jail.") Only 42 games played @ 8.3 minutes per (in 13, he didn't even get 4 minutes) and a boatload of DNPs. I don't buy that he's done....yet.
If not, can he play good team defense and be in the right spots? No idea, but his offensive style fits ours hand in glove. I'm good with 4 we have for now sans McGee. I'd certainly not want another developmental center. I'd much rather have another reliable wing player that was able to defend 1-3 with some proficiency. I wish I knew who that was. |
