Why I’m in on Alabama G Labaron Philon as a Mav:
- With the flashes of everything he can do on the court, in his two years of college, he can be the most complete PG of this draft
- His ball handling is terrific. His use of his off hand is terrific. His deceleration is terrific. And he’s crafty
- His playmaking is solid for now, I think he can improve in that area with the play finishers the Mavs have
-In Dallas, where he wouldn’t have as much usage as he does this year for Bama, he can get back to being the defender that had him as a first round talent last year, solely off of his defense. This year, he’s going to go lottery because of his offense.
- Dallas role year 1: start with Kyrie, run the bench unit when Kyrie is off floor. Focus on defense under Kidd’s instruction and get back to freshman year Philon on defense
- He improved his flaws (perimeter shooting and creation) from last year to this year so quickly and with such a drastic leap, it’s a strong case for how his intangibles are
BREAKING: The Dallas Mavericks and owner Patrick Dumont are expected to fire general manager Nico Harrison at a 10 am central time meeting on Tuesday, sources tell me and Tim MacMahon.
maybe Kidd is silently throwing games as a huge middle finger to Nico & the FO bc he came here to win with Luka Doncic, not work miracles for Nico’s ego.
We literally upgraded our Finals roster with Naji and Klay! There's video proof of Nico saying "We were a Klay away from winning the finals"! I don't know why the narrative switched to Defense!
