I'm trending more to this line of thought, but also he's never really been given a shot. With ATL he was a streaky player but the talent was enough to give him a mediocre bench role on a playoff team.
With NYK, he's basically been glued to the bench for almost 2 years. That wrecks development. There's an argument to be made that all he needs is some structure and a role and he can be a 2-way wing giving you 16ppg.
