Got me thinking ... who is Dallas' fourth wing?
I see Green, Bullock, THJ and all are 6' 5-6" ish ... Kleber is a big who can guard wings.
After that you're probably looking at Ntilikina ... in fact, unless Kidd is ready to commit to our talented but raw rookie, Frank is maybe 9th on the depth chart!
I've long thought Ntilikina was miscast as a PG and often wondered if he could develop into a poor man's DFS. He already defends as well or better than Dorian, at least as far as I can tell. His 7ft wingspan is disruptive and he's tougher than you think.
Can Frank run to the corners and consistently make wide open threes? Can he stay healthy enough to carve out a role? I'd be super excited to see his defense in the rotation.
I have felt this way for a while, but his current 22% from 3 is not encouraging. Just hitting corner 3s at league average would make a useful rotation piece with his defense.
As wings go, I don't know what Green has left but if there is any chance Burks gets bought out, he would be the one to get.
