2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[Kammrath]

Green a legit starter? You think he can be a top 150 player in the league? A tall order based on what we saw on this year alone.

I will say out of all the rookies Green has the only legit chance of getting a 2nd contract. I am excited to see what an offseason can give him.

I am curious though... what flashes have you seen from Tyrell that makes you excited? He played in 56 uninspiring garbage time minutes in 11 games, and then proceeded to have a mental breakdown of unknown cause. 

The 2020 draft was a resounding failure until proven otherwise. Especially since Saddiq Bey was right there.

Green has as much defensive raw talent as I have seen in a long time. I think he will be a starter based on his D alone. I also saw lots of potential in his shooting stroke and his BBIQ (quickly making the right and smart play with or without the ball). His ceiling IMO is higher than anyone not named Luka and KP on the roster. I think his ceiling is as a "third star"....not saying that is LIKELY, but a possibility. 

Tyrell showed much more quickness off the dribble and getting to rim (and craftily finishing around the rim) than I anticipated. He also was legit on D, showing flashes of taking charges and playing like JJB on that end.

I think the CEILING of all three of the drafted guys is as NBA starters....but the Mavs only need ONE of them to get there to have the draft be successful. Grabbing a starter in a draft is a win IMO, and then add the high ceilings and that is only frosting on the cake.
