OPJ has never shot at the volume of THJ. OPJ this year was 6.7 3PA/36 mins. THJ was 8.8 and has been 7.6 for his career.
THJ has always been a high volume "chucker" and that is what got him driven out of town in NYK. Because before this year he was doing it at an average below 35% (and about 35% on catch and shoot).
It was GREAT for the Mavs to have THJ shoot 8.8 3PA/36 mins at about 40% this year. But last year (18-19) it was BAD that THJ shot 9.0 3PA/36 mins at 32% (!!!) with the Mavs.
If THJ keeps this up he is a positive for this team (+3.3 on/off this year), but if he reverts then he is a negative (-3.5 on/off the year before). THJ is not a two-way player and THAT is what the Mavs need. THJ only has value if he can reproduce the shooting of this year. And to me, that is a BIG question mark. BIG.

Except OPJ has played in 36 playoff games in his career and THJ in 21.... albeit that OPJ hasn't been in the last two years.
