He can't shoot, he can't get to the rim, he can't finish at the rim, his handle sucks. Passing ability is irrelevant if you can't run an offense as a guard, so all you really have is a guy that is passable defensively. I could tell within the first few weeks of his 2nd year he was not an NBA player...no improvement, constant deer in the headlights demeanor.
He will go back in Europe, and probably going to be good. In a sense Nick Calathes is good, terrible scorer, but good to very good in some other impactful areas. having vision and handle is still not a given in Europe, but as you said, in the NBA, if you not a threat yourself, no one will give you the ball to just playmake. In the NBA, most guys can dribble and playmake a bit, but mostly only guys who are also star scorers get to carry the ball these days, they are simply the most optimal guys to have the ball. Thats why Campazzo is legend in international ball, but he is a complete flop in the NBA, cause he just cant score so all he gets to do is stand in the corner, there is simply better talent for having ball in their hands.
