He has been a lot better since they inserted him into the starting lineup. Made 5+ 3s in 8/20 games. Averages 16/4. Shooting 39.7% from 3. 57.6% TS.
Leading the team in on/off for the season at +11.3. Offense is 9.2pts better. Defense is 2.1 better with him on the floor.
Basically the player that he used to be with slightly improved defense.
Not to even mention that despite all his flaws he has been one of the few players that have shown consistent effort. He ranks 6th in the league in drawn charges. Mavs as a team combine for 21. 10 of them coming from THJ.
THJ has been better for a limited number of games in the starting lineup, so much so that I’ve laid off him in that other thread. (The Mavs still would be better off without his contract, and he’s prone to a lot of variation in his play.) Hopefully, last night was just a bad flashback. It’s not like anyone else except Hardy and Powell were any good.
