I haven't made much of his shooting because his defense has been unexpectedly good.
And I like him in the rotation at PF especially when WCS comes back because it stops RC from going full fledged midget ball off the bench that's when the Mavs always struggle defensively once Luka sits and everyone on the court is 6'5 and shorter with Powell at center.
Mellie playing well forces Rick to continue to play two bigs even when KP and Kleber both sits
