Actually the Mavs may be purposely holding him back. He will be an unrestricted free agent in 2 years. So if he "busts out" in games during the next two years, some team will pay him big bucks for his services.
If the Mavs don't play that much and let him learn in preseason and practice then not many teams will throw him a lot of money.
They may be keeping his value low in order to get him locked up later. Or it could be a conspiracy theory by me.
