Seeing him hit a three for me was honestly very promising because I'm more worried about that aspect of him transforming into a wing than the defense. I live up here in Boulder so got to see a lot of him in college and I agree, it's night and day compared to his role at CU so he's going to have to adjust but he has the tools physically.
That is a fair take. He is a little older for your normal rookie though at 23 years of age. For me, his future depends on being able to defend on the perimeter and fill in the edges on offense as a guy who makes things happen without having plays run for him.
As a guy who watched Bey in college, do you think he can be a very good perimeter defender in time? He was billed as a very good defender in college, but Sam Veccine of the Athletic prior to the draft was very low on Bey and thought his PAC 12 defensive player of the year award was a poor choice. I want to see much more of these rookies but with limited chances to see him, I do worry about how he is going to defend wings.
