Dallas Mavericks fans finally got their wish granted recently when coach Jason Kidd benched underperforming forward Caleb Martin for the past two games. The NBA veteran has been struggling heavily this season and has failed to meet expectations since being traded to Dallas. His offensive struggles and lack of confidence were enough reasons to sit him out of the rotation.
In simple terms, Martin has not been performing adequately for the past 10 months. His ineffective minutes are a testament to the mess Nico Harrison left behind. If you recall, Harrison traded for Martin right after the Luka Doncic trade, as he believed his veteran expertise, defense, and playoff history could help elevate the Mavs.
