As far as the per 36 numbers are concerned, I'd be curious to see the breakdown of Jaden with the first team versus his run with the end of the bench guys.
Green slowly replaced Ntilikina in the lineup in the last couple of month of the regular season but after the Jazz series Kidd went back to Frank. And I would argue that with both of them being no shows on offense the decision was all about their defense. For the limited role of 5-15 minutes per game all out pressure on the opposing teams best ballhandler/scorer Josh wasn´t the Mavs first option.
But this year we might be looking at a different role and hopefully the game will start to slow down for him on both ends.
