Of course if Achiuwa turns into Bam I always knew.(10-01-2020, 03:26 PM)KillerLeft Wrote:(10-01-2020, 02:26 PM)Kammrath Wrote:(10-01-2020, 01:06 PM)KillerLeft Wrote: I think they're BOTH 4-5 types
This is my last reply on this particular issue:
I think you are dead wrong about TBey. He was listed as a GUARD in college and is listed as a G/F or wing in mock drafts. He is NOT a "big."
Reed on the other hand is MUCH more of a big, a F/C.
I understand your view on the subject, I just flatly disagree. I didn't think my post warranted a reply, as we've discussed this already. Not sure why you wrote this.
I think that the need for a defensive "wing" could be met by a "four wing," which could involve a "big man" who can hit a three and successfully defend the perimeter. I think such a player would fit in the starting lineup much better than Powell would given KP's flourishing in what used to be Powell's role. I have said many times that the Mavs need another creator next to Luka (more than anything else, including that defensive wing), but I don't expect that guy to be available in the draft (unless we trade up for Haliburton, perhaps?), so I'm fine with Achiuwa, Reed, Tiger, Smith, et al.
