ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

[ItsGoTime]

Wasn´t willing to call him an elite defender after the last stretch of the season but admit that he would easily be the best wing defender on the current Mavs roster.

Reputation as a shooter for example. He basically had 1 1/2 seasons of slightly above average 3-point shooting on low volume. As soon as he increased the volume the percentages went downhill. For his career he is 34.2% from 3. Below average. Problem is that his overall offense is even worse. And that´s not just about the last two seasons. Cannot really get to the rim and takes a lot of midrange shots. Not a good idea for a player that isn´t a good shooter to begin with. Putting him close to the bottom of the league in scoring efficiency. 51.2 TS% for his career.

His shooting numbers are close to Levert’s. I don’t mind saying he has warts on offense. So did THJ when he came here. I just think there’s enough there to see a hard worker put things together on that side. In our offense, he’d have some semblance of a Reggie Bullock role, but with the added ability to close out on the defender.
