My second reaction is that I think it's funny to ignore a kid's entire career where he was a top draft prospect and describe him like he sucks based on just 12 games.
Furthermore nobody has any insights on how high school draft prospects should perform in the G-League compared to college or Europe. I´d probably have taken Liddell over him, but at some point it simply becomes worth it to take a swing on a projected lottery pick. If his head is right, this will fire him up to prove everybody wrong. We have to start somewhere with the youth development.
Funny I checked in twice during the draft and last time was at #36 thinking same old Mavs. LOL. Maybe the new infrastructure is getting to Cuban.
I´d also hold off judgment on the money angle. If they unload somebody before July 1st, having 6M in cash to cushion the blow for the other team could be useful. $6M are "just" $6M for Cuban, while $6M in salary are $6M+tax.
