Debunked. He had no playing time against the Wolves who employ a small 3 guard lineup and he didn't get off the bench even in garbage time.
Roddy has simply gone back to his "break glass in case of injury or blowout" role he had in his rookie year. Except for 20 minutes, he has been used mainly this year as PG and with him being 3rd on depth chart (4th on the SG) it makes no sense to have him here. He is not going to get better through "practicing hard" because the Mavs won't be practicing with games scheduled every other day now til the end of April.
He is not going to get better on the bench. Either ask him to go to the D league where he can practice and play or just trade him for a 2nd rounder and cap space.
