Yeah, really tough break for him. I would imagine if he recovers, the Mavs would have an interest in inviting him back to camp next year. Although this could have been a prime period to make more good impressions with everyone out. He is an older rookie, so he probably is not an ideal two way guy again next year. So, he is probably going to need to win a spot with limited visibility for the most part.
I was impressed with his feel on the court. He has a real nice body. I couldn't tell if he is a guy who can guard wings. He lacks plus burst imo, but really knew how to use his body in my limited viewing. Can he hit the open three consistently? Either way, as an undrafted guy the Mavs did good there. He was a guy I didn't even know until right before the draft. Seemed to be a hard worker. Good story too.
