What changed my perspective was that great Iztok article on the types of players that wins playoff series. THJ was classified as the only "scorer" on the team after KP was traded. Part of that was that he does a fair amount of scoring unassisted (where somebody like Bertans is completely depended on getting fed). Playoffs really are a different beast than the regular season, and he has shown well there.So the Mavs were shopping him a half season after signing him because he was injured? That makes no sense if they believe what you're saying. They were reportedly shopping him before switching to focus on KP, so SD and DB weren't in the picture yet (possibly).
In the last 3 years according to bbref, between 80 and 84% of THJ's 3's are assisted, between 51 and 66% of his 2's are assisted. That's not Bertans %, but I don't get how it's "scorer's" % either. I guess I need to read that article to know how he defines scorer, because what you explained makes little sense to me.
