He should have been benched to start the year.
Eric Maynor is the worst basketball player I've ever seen.

Because he clearly wasn't ready to play at the start of the season. You can't miss an entire off-season of OTAs, minicamp, training camp, preseason etc. and then come in right away and play well. Yes I agree he needs live reps to develop but he also needed practice time to get back into rhythm. He should have sat at least the first four games(would have given him 5 weeks to get back since we had a week 5 bye).
