Might have to talk about reasons why the Mavs cannot make it work with players like Wright, Richardson or Bullock (?).
I literally came to post this same thing. It is CRAZY. JR even has a positive plus/minus.
Honestly there is only one common thread for all those guys: Luka (please tell me if I am wrong here).
Which makes me ask two questions:
1) Is defending the wing alongside Luka a really terrible job that is almost impossible to succeed in?
2) Is shooting alongside Luka a really difficult job that a good number of shooters cannot succeed in?
The trend is alarming. I am not saying "it is all Luka's fault"...but I simply don't have an explanation other than playing alongside him at this point.
