If the Mavs get the Naji Marshall of last season - who was efficient and shot well, then there won't be any dropoff from DJJ and it might even be an upgrade. But if they get the other Naji from previous years then that will be a downgrade from DJJ.
DJJ was so effective because he is a career 50% FG player so you knew he wasn't going to hurt the offense with many missed shots. And the player we saw last season was a respectable 3-pt shooter. 34% in the regular season and 36% in the playoffs is not great but also not bad. When you combine with his overall offensive efficiency and great defense, that made him valuable to the team.
