I think the main thing that could help him is being on a strong veteran team. He started on a shit franchise that has been actively trying to lose games, which can lead to the sort of stats LHS posted (average-or-so player putting up high-quality numbers due to horrid efficiency) and then went to an Indiana team that was very good, but as their meltdown showed last year, wasn't exactly a stabilizing influence on a player who'd gained bad habits from essentially being an average guy with a green light to do whatever because his team wanted to lose, leading them to essentially lock him away because he didn't fit in.
If things go well, he has the potential to be a decent third option sort, but his current career arc is pointing towards being a lot less than that.
