SL Game 2: Dallas Mavericks vs. Los Angeles Lakers | 9:00PM CST | ESPN

You have to be mobile to get your shot off in the NBA.  That's what guys like JJ Redick and Kyle Korver do so well.  I've seen division 3 players knock down 95/100 threes in an open gym.  Being able to shoot doesn't mean anything.

Unless you're an expert on Fenerbace, no one really knows with Tarik.

Rigadeau should be a familar name for all Mavs fans. 

Mobility is one aspect. The other aspect is body control and deception. Dirk, Nash, JeT all have slower releases and yet were so good. 

Labaron who I was high on before the draft, and had poor mobility scores, is looking like he might become a really good player.  

So you can’t say it is one thing or the other, but you need something that keeps defenses off balance. 

Also in the modern NBA , you have to defend in space. Else teams will repeatedly target you and render you unplayable unless you are a generational talent   So even if Tarik’ shot translates, it is yet to be seen if he can cut it in the league. It is not easy.
