And to this day is streaky as Hardaway Jr. Sure, he’s shot the ball well these playoffs. (In large part because Miami seemed to scheme for him to shoot 25 of em in the last 2 games of the first round.) But still, that incudes games in which he went 2/9 (Pacers gm 4), 2/8 (Pacers gm 3), 1/4 (Cavs gm 4), 1/8 (Cavs gm 2), 2/7 (Heat gm 3). So whatever. But sure, he’s a fine player.
Agreed with the rest of your post... but I have to say, Derrick White is a darn fine role player. Like the MJ of role players in today's league. I wanted him and Caruso both, before they moved to their respective teams, because I think they would have fit so good with Luka. The Mavs need to find more quality guys like them in the draft, who have high bball IQ.
Go Mavs!
