Donnie Nelson will never, ever, ever get fired. Never. Never, ever.
Given that, I find arguments made on the internet that he should be extremely boring. This is especially true during a three year stretch when the Mavs' team building effort has been somewhere between an A++ and a B-, depending on how view the overall plan.
Is it possible that Maledon will be better than Terry? Yes. Is it possible that missing out on Maledon, whose ceiling here would've been a backup PG, will somehow haunt the Mavs and their fans for the next decade? I highly doubt it.
Give me the guy who broke the NBA's IQ test and projects as one of the best shooters in the draft. I have absolutely no problem with the pick. I wasn't disappointed by his first pre-season game at all. On the contrary, he looked bigger than I thought and although he over dribbled once or twice, I thought he stepped into quite a few good shots with confidence (didn't make many of them). I thought he moved the ball quickly, intelligently and decisively. He actually reminded me of Terry once as he came around a screen and pulled up in space with a nice looking jumper. It didn't go in, but I have no doubt that he'll hit a lot of those in his career.
