Looked at the guy Tankathon has projected for the Mavs: Payton Sandfort. There is no way I take a 24 year old PG in Spencer over a 21 year old SF in Sandfort. I actually love Sandfort for the Mavs. We need a play-making/shooting SF to replace THJ long-term, if we believe in the development of O-Max and Hardy, not some TJ McConnell.
I get Sandfort´s physical limitations, but he´s 6´7 and can shoot it like a white dude. 91% from the FT line in college. 38% from 3 on high volume, shot looks smooth as silk, even off the dribble, excellent unselfish passer from what I have seen. Probably useless finishing at the rim, due to his lack of strength and athletic ability. I mean that really sucks for us, since we don´t have Luka, Kyrie, Gafford, Lively and Jones to do that for us.
The guy is basically everything I look for on our current roster. We have defense covered with everybody else from SF to C. We need somebody that can shoot the lights out. Imho if you give that kid open looks off Luka and Kyrie, he knocks down close to 40% in his rookie season.
Gives me Parsons vibes, hopefully with better knees and back.
