Give me him over Wright any day.
Yes, he played pretty well. The ball still sticks a little too much for me, but hopefully that is just how he has played and will learn he can't play that way in the NBA. Him finishing at the rim is as good as advertised.
For the Two way, I think he is safe. Lawson is probably safe too. But he really needs to shoot better. It is disappointing he has made very few threes and has had some bad misses as well.
I don't see a reason to keep Wright if he doesn't make the real roster. No need to keep to 6 foot guards on two way contracts. Same for Jelly Walker who looks fun but not sure there is a path for a real nba player there. I hate to make quick judgements but just a quick judgement there.
Taze Moore has looked good. He is 25 though and looks to be one of those tweener types. Not sure he would be in consideration for the last two way spot for me. If I am the Mavs, I am focusing on the 6-6 to 6-8 wings and guys who may have a chance to be one of those long 3 and D players. I am also looking at the 6'10-6'11 guys who are mobile and athletic. Those are the two prototypes I am trying to find and develop.
