It´s possible Bey/Terry suck and would never develop, even under different circumstances. Then the question needs to be raised whether the MBT/Scouting staff are good enough at their job.
But there are so many different layers to this, but let´s assume for a second that our assessment of Carlisle being extra tough on rookies and always leaning toward veterans is true, then the logical conclusion is that it only makes drafting harder, because the information gets skewed:
1. The raw young draft talent with major upside will always try to avoid getting drafted by the Mavs. Therefore manipulating their workouts/interviews negatively to decrease their chances to be selected by us.
2. The college veterans, who are not in high demand, will always come hard for the Mavs workouts, because they know we are one of their best chances to be selected at all. They are also generally more mature, because well they have 3-4 additional years of life experience.
Maybe that partially helps to explain our poor draft evalution.
If you were a talented rookie, would Dallas be one of your preferred destinations to get the necessary developmental minutes on the floor?
I guess all I´m saying is:: If you have a great reputation for young player development around the agents, that means the agents will be comfortable to tell their clients to go all out during the draft process. That means these teams will get much more perfect (honest) information about the draft talent pool than a franchise with a bad reputation.
Mavs always liked veterans before RC
I mean which freshman did we draft under Cuban and before RC that had any success? And what is the percentage?
When folks were voicing anger with one and done rule in 2010, Cuban came out and said it should be 3 years in college rule, player should be ready for NBA
He then slammed college system because they aren't teaching players the right way.
You can fire RC and hire the most youth friendly coach and it won't change, the owner of the team himself is in that belief and his GM and coach are reflection of that.
PS: It hurts that the one time they gambled with youth, they took DSJ over Mitchell
