DoJo's been pretty much a complete bust so far, but he can't shoot at all, and I can't imagine how you could take issue with him being at the bottom of a crowded depth chart given the makeup of the backcourt the last couple years. On the other hand Ian and Wright both just came off the best seasons of their careers, Brewer, though he was only with the Mavs for a little bit, has played better during and since his time with Rick than he ever had before, and JJB undeniably made great strides in his game through with Carlisle as his head coach. The only real blip on Rick's young player development resume in Dallas is Booby, but Rick gets an incomplete there for the same reason that Booby does...the foot injury.

Excellent post. Rick also says the right things in regards to Roddy. He has never said the guard "doesn't have it." Roddy simply can not get injured before the season starts. That will be all on him if so.
