I remember watching it and thinking, "Why is this guy in summer league?" He looked so much better than everyone else that is was if he were playing against kids in grade school. In fact, I remember thinking to myself while watching him that the look on his face suggested he was pissed off just being there.
I exaggerate of course, but maybe that's what coaches really want to see.
What an interesting career he had. Some brilliant, some frustration. Some very highs (all star?) and then disappeared pretty quick from being a good player to done it feels.
Top 5 draft pick in the Cuban era? I would love to find another player like him late in the first round sgain. Sneaky good draft day by Donnie. Josh Howard and a good undrafted guy (can’t remember his name). I just wish the Mavs always gave away picks.
