Its perplexing if we have all the correct information and there is nothing being held secret.
Anyway...this team lacks basketball players and shot makers. I think I am done with the "scheme fit" excuse and want better all around basketball players in here...not scheme fit guys only.
Just find talent. That is their job. Yes, fit is important but at this point they cannot cut the available list of players to only those who fit "Luka Ball".
Also, when I am looking at prospects physical and mental toughness are always high on my list. That is why I have always been a big Jalen fan. Playoff basketball is tough. Not everyone can play when the stakes are so high. If you don't have that toughness, then I don't want you. The Mavs have several of these players, but most are struggling now. When I watch us play this year, it seems like we don't make enough winning plays. Sure if we shot better it would help things but I think we are lacking toughness and a player or two who connects the team. I am not sure how we fix that this year.
