One of our evaluation reputations will take a big hit and one of our evaluation reputations will get a huge boost based on how this turns out.
Ha I reserve the right to change my mind in a month. I would imagine summer league will be a bumpy ride with him. He will need a lot of development. It will be important not to limit his creativity, but he clearly will need to mature and find different ways to be successful. His whole life he has had the ball in his hands. To get on the NBA floor, he will need to show he can do the other stuff. Than in time maybe he will have the ball back in his hands.
The Mavs clearly took a bigger upside pick. I am sure others had different preferences. I am glad they traded for a pick. Dallas needs to identify and start developing guys who will replace Hardaway types, Dinwiddie types, Maxi Types, Dwight types, etc. Not all of them, but I would guess most of those guys won't be here in 3 years. Mavs can't pay big dollars to a ton of bench players long term. And they can't wait until those players are gone to look to fill those roles.
