2025 draft thread: THE MAVS SELECT COOPER FLAGG

[SleepingHero]

To the college experts in here :
What sets Proctor apart from Kam Jones? Is it the shooting and the connection to Coop? I feel like Jones is more of a ballhandler than Proctor is and was thinking if he wouldn't be the better fit for us?

I would not classify myself as an expert, but those are two big reasons for me.

Proctor is an elite spot up shooter. That is a valuable skill on a team when you have 4 other guys on the floor who want to score as well. Second, his connection not only to Coop but to Lively too. Having a familiar face on a new team for a rookie is a pretty big deal in terms of settling in and finding your role. Third, his size for his position intrigues me. 

He's not a traditional PG, and he certainly isn't the scorer that Kam Jones is. But for what the Mavs are looking for, I think Proctor is a better fit.
