If he however had been a 2nd rounder, based on his performance so far, I believe he would never have played this many minutes. Some people here say its important to be patient. Its a good point when you are not aiming high and you have time until you contend. I do not agree with this. I dont think Mavs are in position to be patient, we need to win, right now.
I was all for trading picks for a win now team. Seems Mavs disagree with that and chose a longterm game. Unfortunate consequence is that value of those picks is lower at the moment, since none really showed much. Houston rookies, all much lower picks, showed they are far more NBA ready. I can share the concerns also other have expressed. We didn't have the privilige to see high basketball IQ shooter Terry, or ready to play Green as advertised at the draft.

I don't really agree. Depth is useful for regular season, especially one like this. Playoffs are all in with a very limited rotation. That's why contenders have extremely top heavy roster construction.
