2020-2021 AROUND the NBA: Archived

2) Tyrell just turned 20 (along with Green) and Bane is more than 2 years older than him. SO MUCH maturation and growth happens from ages 18-22 that it is generally a horrible idea to compare guys who have a couple year difference in that range. Bane has gotten off to an incredible hot start, but I would still evaluate Tyrell above him personally. I might be dead wrong, but I am not willing to jump to conclusions based on what I have seen so far, especially since we all knew Bane would come in a basically finished product and Tyrell would come in incredibly raw and immature. 

3) Every team situation and philosophy is so different in regard to development of youth and rookies. It is so hard to make any helpful comparisons. Some guys will thrive on some teams while those same guys might totally fail in other team situations. Just too many variables to even mention.

Totally agree with everything you said here. Like I said, my impressions right now of Terry aren't written in stone. They're more so just a commentary of what I've seen so far and I'm just projecting out based on how he's looked to other players at this stage that looked like him. 

I do think he has looked hesitant to shoot at times, but I personally haven't seen that as "fear." Frankly I wish Luka would be as hesitant to shoot from three as Tyrell has been...... Just saying.

I mean to be fair, fear is subjective. That's just my POV on how he's looked on the court. Terry could easily be unafraid and is just doing what he thinks is the right basketball play, even if he looks hesitant. I mean for all I know his herky jerky motions that come off as hesitant might actually just be how he looks. Its too early to say. And you're right the Mavs coaching staff might be having him play a specific way, but that's a whole other conversation.
