I wouldn't base Walt's contribution to the Mavs stricktly on his stats. He's playing less minutes in Dallas so his numbers are going to be lower. I base his contribution on when he does during important times during games. He's been able to get stops during crunch time by drawing fouls, getting steals, and grabbing rebounds. He may only hit two three pointers during a game but it's when he hits them thats important. So far this year he's been able to hit a three just when the other team starts to make a run. He also seems to know that his role on the Mavs is comming off the bench. He knows he's not the starter, and he just makes sure he's ready when his time comes. He also knows that Nellie will not let his a$$ off the bench if he screws up.
He's averaging 1.5 minutes less per game in Dallas. His time on the court really hasn't changed since leaving Houston... not yet anyways. How long is Walt's contract with the Mavs?
