FIFY. He looked promising last year and the first month of this year. He has been wretched since, consistently for months on end. He is so far behind the rest of the team in performance and confidence right now that he hurts us ***badly*** when he plays as opposed to the guys in the 9-man rotation (Luka, KP, DFS, Maxi, THJ, Curry, Wright, Brunson, and hopefully WCS). The Mavs aren't just playing for the future anymore, like the last three years, but for the present and the future. They need someone who helps now as well as having promise for the future (which I dynamically believe Justin no longer does).
