Nah, he drives really hard, gets to the line and is a decent passer. Real problem is: take away the drive and his effectivity plumments immediately and he more often than not is overaggressive, gets caught up in traffic and is unable to get a decent shot up. That's why he has a 45% conversion rate at the rim...

Regarding Carlisle: Its his style to go unconventional and mix things up a lot when the team is searching for a win, but after a 38-point blowout it's safe to say that it hasn't worked this season. It sure hasn't been easy because other key guys besides Dirk missed some time or at least played through some stuff, but overall you just don't get the sense that the team is improving.

With Dirk back I think RC should commit to the rotation with the most upside/potential, play them no matter what and hope that consistent playing time will bring consistency and improvement on the field.
