I do not know why he gets to handle the ball so much even when Barnes is on the floor with him.

He's decent in a short post-up, but I agree-- he may be the worst dribbling 2/3 that we've ever had-- even beating out Finley which is why I think he's a great 3rd/4th scorer if he's a 3/D guy, but can't be our first or second option. I think he'd be phenomenal next to Fultz, though. He's been shooting 48% from three and he hasn't even been getting many open shots. His shooting percentage when assisted is off the charts. He's just been forced to create his own shot and he's terrible at making his own offense.
