In Atlanta he played a Jordan Clarkson like 6th man role. I guess that is what the Mavs are trying right now. His 3-point shooting wasn´t great but overall he scored 15-20ppg on above league average efficiency (+1-2%rTS combined with a low turnover percentage). That´s the good kind of chucker.
In the RC Mavs years he was on a tight leash. Catch and shoot guy next to Luka. And it worked. Two seasons with elite 3-point volume + efficiency.
Right now it feels like he is caught in between. Not really a 6th man because he is sharing the floor with SD and Wood. Not really a catch and shoot option because he rarely occupies the areas of the floor that used to be his got to spots (right wing, corner). Leading to an infuriating number of attempts from the top of the key. Either pull up or really deep catch and shoot.
