Moses

Moses thought/question...

Listen to the interview above and Moses seems to have a key component to success. He really, wants to succeed, has goals and seems to be willing to put in the work. His attitude is great. 

Also, the Mavs are investing in him (at least for now). It looks like Tyson is putting in a ton of work with Moses, which is really cool. 

But, when I watch tape (youtube - tape for us amatures), I see really poor footwork. His feet seem to be a mess, from my amature eyes. 

So here's the question: Can "want to" quickly enough overcome something as troubling for a big man as bad foot work?

Here's my hopeful thought: The Mavs were willing to invest in DFS, give him years to develop and that investment is now paying off. Maybe that kind of investment, if the Mavs are willing to make it, could fix one of Moses' deficiencies. 

What say you?

My hope is that the Mavs have found a player that has some raw potential that just needs the right combination of development and experience to really blossom.

My guess though is that Moses is nothing more than a throw in to make a trade legal and is getting coached by Tyson because Tyson is in that Legends coaching program and needs the experience of working with players as part of that.  Since he's not a full time coach on the staff then he probably has less access to the already established NBA players on the team - but again, that's just a guess since I have no idea if that's how it really works or not.

I think the difference with DFS is that DFS was someone that the Mavs purposely drafted, so they clearly saw something in him that they liked.  I don't think Moses is in that same category unless the JRich trade was really about trying to sneakily pry Moses away all along (which hey, maybe it was!  )

That being said, I'll continue to hope that my hope is correct and not my guess!
