He has been a huge dud in the US.
He was Pelicans' version of Antoine Rigadeau-- he was an older Euro player (28 years old) who they thought would be amazing. He was an amazing shooter in Europe who shot 46% one year and had a few seasons of 40%+
In his two years in the USA, he hasn't been good, but he dropped 28 against Luka's team in Europe and Pelicans are bad. Mavs have better spacing and the offense is much more European flow offense.
Honestly not expecting much, but he's zero risk as a QO player. If we like him, we give him a QO and make him a restricted FA. If he sucks, we decline and clear that 4 mill cap hold and never see him again.
