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.
This Reunion Rowdie says the AAC needs "Luka's Lunatics" for the Luka/KP and gang era.
