That's just stuff that makes you borderline unplayable in the modern NBA. Would rather take a slightly worse athlet that isn't struggling with fundamentals if rim protection and rebounding are priorities for the Mavs.
Not to even mention that I am not the biggest fan of a non shooting big next to Flagg.
Yeah, shooting is the big ?. Probably right after health. Although, he was 17 years old as a freshman. So you could see an improvement. The other contender for top center in the draft, Mara, shot in the 50's from free throws this year. He was in the 30's during the year. So he is not a marksman either. Much better passer. Both are good defenders. Quintance provides much more flexibility on defense where as Mara is your typical drop center. He will have trouble defending anyone on the perimeter.
