That doesn't mean he's doomed to stay there. He can improve, and as I've said probably 50 times since the trade was made, I hope he comes out this year and proves me wrong. I hope he plays hard on defense, improves his three point shooting, and becomes a more stable player. I'd love that.
But pretending his game is just spot on and doesn't need any work is just being wilfully ignorant.
