To his credit, he takes care of the ball as well as or better than any other low post threat in the league, and that means his overall offensive impact is probably better than what his ts% and assists/game stats show by themselves, but in my mind it's far from a foregone conclusion that he'd make as big a difference in the Dallas offense as some people seem to think he would.

People pining over "post scoring" without taking into account efficiency is quite possibly my biggest pet peeve when it comes to discussion on this board. It's so tiresome to hear people continually talk about post scoring as if scoring from within eight feet is some sort of magic elixir and no other considerations should be made.
