^ This. Never confuse effort for results. JJ tries hard every night. He has to. It doesn't always equal good results. Hence the reason why he is not a "starting point guard" and is the epitome of a "reserve". Someone is hurt. It's his time to fill a role until that person comes back from injury. Despite being a fan favorite because of his effort, this is the most he will ever amount to. He knows this. That's why he came back to Dallas to be a reserve and not a starter. He doesn't have the natural abilities of the starting PG's in this league, that's why he has to try hard every night.
One compliment I will definitely give him is that he's done a great job of creating a shot since his last stroll through here.
