Signing him to the main roster would be the right move, and allow him to continue to develop in the *correct* context. But it is hard to see how there’d be room for him.
I see your position, I do. I don’t want to be dismissive. I just see it way differently. Against folks in summer league he was just a guy (JAG). He’s our guy, so we’re hyper focused on what he did or didn’t do in each game. But if you asked any non-Mavs fan what they though of Ishchenko they’d say: “who”?
He’d be so far down the pecking order on this team, that it doesn’t seem fair to him in all honesty. They’ve already added 4 rookies - he would make 5. They’ve also added 4 other non-rookies that are 25 or younger that will need PT and development.
