DRAFT: #18 [Green] & #31 [Terry] & trade for #36 [Tyler Bey]

[DanSchwartzgan]

A 3 & D PG

Who do you see that fills this description in the draft?

To me there are 3 skills for the position...D, Shooting and ball handling.  If you have two of the three you aren’t a consideration at 18.  You’re doing your radio interviews by then.

What I was trying to point out is Dallas can probably handle a lesser ball handler...more so than many of the teams looking for a lead guard.  You pretty well have to settle for 3 or D and hope the guy you draft can grow the other one.  Halliburton will be long gone, but I really like him on this team.  I’ve met Jones (nice kid) and think he would be a good defender who could develop his outside shot more.  Unfortunately he’s a low ceiling guy and we have one of those already.  Terry is obviously a “3” guy, but my legs weigh more than him.  Hard to see him fighting through screens.

If may be that Lewis, Anthony, Maxey or Hampton fit what I’m talking about and have more upside than someone like Jones.  All those guys seem to be congregating close to 18 and all have high ceilings and pretty major flaws.  Anthony was a top 5 kid coming out of HS.  I’d probably take a flyer on that.  It isn’t like we need him to contribute much right away.
