I hafta think the Mavs are very happy with this kid, his potential, and his progress.
All depends on how long you want to develop the kid really.
You make great points...but what youre leaving out is teams wont respect him in Playoffs leading to 4vs5...very very risky.
He has to improve his 3 asap...only so many game chairs. My unprofessional opinion is the kid unfortunately will never have a great feel for the game offensively. Luckily shooting a 3Ball isnt that hard to figure out....he just needs to do it ASAP. Investing time in the kid learning feel for the game as far as dribbling or finishing at the rim is probably not smart at this point...he just doesnt have it. Shooting and make an open 3 at a decent clip is this kids way in the league. Im praying for him.
