Exactly. Since the shooter (DFS) doesn't bring the center out of the paint, Mavs offense falls apart as long as KP will not be able to punish the "midgets" opponents are sending to guard him. As he plays now, he is basically hugely overpaid Muscala.
If DFS doesn't bring his shooting up to last season average, it will be tough to have him in the starting lineup. He has to hit his wide open shots like Utah or Lakers role players are hitting them. No one dares to leave Bogdanovic or Ingles wide open. Even Royce is hitting them respectfully.
