In the sense that I don’t want to bet against him because all Kentucky guards make it: (Tyrese) Maxey, (Immanuel) Quickley, (De’Aaron) Fox, Shai (Gilgeous)-Alexander, Tyler Herro, Keldon Johnson, (Jamal) Murray, Devin Booker. All guards make it from Kentucky. But then, I see his production and how inconsistent it was this year. But then, looking back historically, all of those guys, it was the same deal. There were times where they were great for three or four games straight, and then for three to four games, they were just absolutely horrendous. So I’m not going to put anything by this kid, of not making it. He plays hard. He competes. He’s a jack of all trades, master of none. When he’s going, he impacts at both ends. I’m not going to bet against him making it. He looks like a terrific teammate. There’s a reason he’s a McDonald’s All-American and one of the top two or three guards in the country. College Assistant Coach 1 (his team played Kentucky): I thought he was tough. Really looked to run their offense and get guys shots. Their guards got the shots, with (CJ) Frederick and (Antonio) Reeves, and they had an inside guy that needed the ball in Oscar (Tshiebwe). Most point guards are freer to do more offensively. There’s nothing wrong with his stroke. I think he’ll shoot the ball well. He’s good in pick-and-roll, and he’s a good defender. I look at him with Amen Thompson and Black and Wallace, I look at them as the bigger point guards (with potential). I thought he was physical, tough kid, get in there and rebound. I thought he was good. Watching him and coaching against him, I liked what I saw.
Wallace is all we need at the lead guard position. BBIQ and 2 way play. We don’t need another hero. Constant play would a long way in changing our trajectory. Just win should be our goal; nothing more than winning.
If Miller drops to #4 and we pick him, we need to do whatever it takes to get Cason. He'd be a great fit.
Eason (this hurts but Miller is better in the role) Martin (don’t want to pay him) & Christopher (no room for him) For Dallas’ FRP#10 => Wallace Mavericks win trade in the short term which is okay because we get stability for our future. Our team is better going forward.
Yeah, I wouldn't pick him at #4. He could be an option if we trade up from #20 or trade back from #4. Otherwise we're probably not in a good position to pick him right now.
True, after the massive playing time he got from a great coach he still couldn't perform to expectations.
