He has had chances to make an impact too, this isn't a case to me at all where RC just doesn't play a guy because he is young.
And in the past when we have been upset about RC's lack of playtime for young players like Anderson or Motley? I remember GDT's where people roasted RC for not playing them(I know I did for Anderson). They aren't even in the NBA anymore. And I don't buy the lack of development angle either. Neither played with us more than 2 years and they couldn't develop at the age of 22 elsewhere? I really can't recall a single player we didn't play who left and even became a NBA quality player let alone hidden gem of some kind.
Dodo shot 30% from 3 for 3 years till he put it together so he could put in the work and turn it around next year... At the same time though, he airballs wide open corner 3's. The ones he was supposed to be adequate from in college, he looks like he's never shot them before. He's at like 2 of 20 on the year and you can tell by his body language when he passes up shots that he has zero confidence in his shot so I don't think it's just a lack of opportunities. He has had plenty of chances IMO with all the covid stuff and banged up guys we have had.

I'd argue that Crowder left due to less playing time than he deserved. He moved on, received more money, more playing time, and demonstrated that he deserved them.
I find it interesting when Mav fans bring up Crowder's name from time to time as a possible addition. Why he would come back and play under Carlisle is beyond me. I still think that a main reason so many players choose other destinations over the Mavs is due to RC. He's well known for his prickly demeanor, and if I made millions, I wouldn't be inclined to looking forward to having to deal with that at work on a regular basis if I had other options.
