I think Larry is going to be an NBA player - possibly even a very good one. I'm pretty confident about that, actually.
What I'm less confident about is that he's going to be a lead ball-handler/PG type as we all hope. Yes, he can pass (understatement), and despite his poor showing in preseason as a shooter, it looks like that won't be a problem. But, he's SLOOOOOOWWWW. He does not have guard FEET. I think he might be slow for a SF, even, but I'm starting to wonder if that's not what he'll end up being in the NBA. It doesn't mean he can't run the offense from time to time, but I worry that he isn't "the answer" to the "Mavs franchise PG" question.
