I think DSJ is a good example of what worries me.  If you have zero NBA level skills and try to develop five at the same time, the risk is you develop none (and never see a second contract).

If you can get one thing NBA ready, you stand a chance of hanging around long enough to work on the other elements of your game.

DSJ was all athlete and got by because of it but that's much harder to do in the NBA because almost everyone is a great athlete, super skilled or both.  This has always been a conundrum of the Mavs as we typically go for highly skilled guys that don't have the best athleticism (Luka, JB) or go for guys with great measurables who have below average fundamentals (DSJ, Josh).  I know getting both is rarer but it would be nice to have someone who is a force of nature on both ends of the court.
