And he doesn't seem to be very effective on defense either. Belica just backed Maxi right down and easily scored over him.
I think Maxi is an integral role player. His defensive versatility and willingness to play a confined role on the offense is invaluable. He can switch onto anyone and play fantastic defense.
I will say this game he hasn't been very effective, but has anyone on the Mavs? I think the bubble jitters is effecting the Mavs being able to lock-in.
But it'd be foolish to think that Maxi isn't a stout defender that is a backbone for this team.
