I'm game, tbh. I think he actually DOES fulfill the specific parts of "PG" that are missing here. He works pick and roll well, specifically because of his arsenal of scoring counters. He'd basically be the player they've been trying to make Hardy into. You mentioned JET, and I get why people don't call him a PG, but in reality, that's the exact role he played here. Once the ball got brought up, Kidd was the off-guard, Terry was on ball. High pick and roll with JET/Dirk was this team's staple for like a decade.

I love the role Carlisle put JET in.  Just perfect.  He wasn't the perfect player but they found the right role for him.  He was a winning player.   Just like Daryl Morey is always looking for the perfect player.   Sometimes you need to accept someone is not perfect but get him in the right role and he can out produce more talented players.

BTW, looking back to that 2011 era.  The Mavs really didn't have many guys who excelled on creating off the dribble.  They were so good though getting their players to their right spot and always got good shots on their possessions.
