Mavs Prospect G-League Watch - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

tap2390 · 02-22-2021, 02:02 PM

I know some have been posting updates in the Welcome to Dallas threads but figured we could use a place to consolidate highlights and stats and discuss our youngins. I've excluded Nate Hinton because I doubt he's in our long-term plans.

Tyrell Terry
At 20, Terry is the youngest player on the Hustle G-League squad. He has been showing off his range and a knack for finding the ball with 7 rebounds a game. So far in 6 games he's averaging:

32.8 MPG
17.2 PPG on 40 FG%, 41.2 3P%, and 91.7 FT%
7 RPG
3.7 APG
3.2 TOs
4 +/-

Highlight Videos
23 points vs. Erie BayHawks

19 points vs. Austin Spurs

18 points vs. Canton Charge

17 points vs. Salt Lake City

Tyler Bey
Bey is stuck on the worst team in the G-League bubble, but he has looked like a man amongst boys. He's springy, extremely active, and honestly might be the closest to getting called up by the Mavs. He cuts well, posts up well, is an elite rebounder for his size, and most importantly, he is hitting 1 three a game and taking 2.5. He's been a little overrated as a defender, but we could use his all around energy and rebounding.

28.4 MPG
17.2 PPG on 52.7 FG%, 40 3P%, and 75 FT%
8.8 RPG
3.7 Offensive Rebounds
1.2 APG
1.8 TOs
-5.5 +/-

Highlight Videos
21 points vs. the Clippers

22 points vs. the Hustle

Concerningly, Green has racked up the DNPs.

That's what happens when your own team forgoes the bubble.

He's on SLC Stars with Bey. Bey is tearing it up. He's getting major minutes and playing well.

Green has had four straight DNPs and hasn't played a single minute for them.

Dtownsfinest · 02-23-2021, 11:57 AM

So Green is getting DNP's....but Saadiq Bey is racking up starting minutes with the Pistons?

You mean the team that's 8 - 22 in the East?

I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean. Performance is performance and none of us are vouching for Yogi Ferrell's crappy defense or the other 8-9 guys on that roster.

Is the team good? Definitely not. Are Bey and Terry doing really well? Definitely.

Mavs are 14-15...they aren't really in position to look down on a Pistons team that on any given night probably has a 30-40% chance of beating them. WE are all playing bad football but I guess dog shit smells better than horse shit so I Guess......

tap2390 · 02-24-2021, 08:33 AM

My point is one team is rebuilding, and one team has serious playoff aspirations. Of course Saddiq Bey is getting minutes on the Pistons and of course he came into the league with an already established skill set. The same holds true for Bane. We knew that at the draft. We chose Green because he’s the superior perimeter defender and has higher upside.

EricaLubarsky · 02-24-2021, 08:39 AM

Weren’t the stats shared for our Bey?

Yes, I was responding to the above.

tap2390 · 02-24-2021, 09:33 AM

Terry had 26 points vs. Raptors, and showed a very varied offensive game including off the dribble 3s, transition baskets at the hoop, and driving into the paint. He's freaking good. I expect he'll be a rotation player for us next year.

https://youtu.be/T58AxanpiEQ

He finished with 26 points on 9 - 18 shooting, 3 - 8 from three, 3 - 4 from the line, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 0 fouls, 3 steals, 2 turnovers.

EricaLubarsky · 02-26-2021, 09:26 AM

Green gets some burn. 16-4-3 on 62% shooting (but 0% from three)
Bey had a bad scoring game 6pts, 9reb, 2stl, 1blk (30% field, 0% three)

Terry had a good game but then got injured again and was pulled with only 9min played

He looks extremely athletic. I for one am super excited to see what he can do with a full offseason/ camp. I think he's a starter next year.

I think he’s a starter here for a decade+. Could eventually be a switchable defender at 4 positions and lockdown at the the 2/3. Not sure about him starting NEXT season but it is possible. Having recently watched Bane and Nesmith I’m so glad we wound up with Green. Saddiq looks great too but they went with upside. Can’t argue with that.

I just pray they don’t toss him in a trade before the deadline, unless it’s getting us a star in return. Not for Gallo or some other equivalent guy on the downside of their career. Same with Terry and Bey. They need to be patient and develop our young guns, keep stockpiling assets.

tap2390 · 02-28-2021, 02:50 PM

Tyler Bey continues to look pretty damn good. Kid is an athlete. I see him as a supercharged Maxi Kleber if he gets that jumper down.

Very Matrix

EricaLubarsky · 02-28-2021, 04:56 PM

Greens defense was actually stellar that game too.

Still hasn’t found his offense but he was stifling

tap2390 · 03-02-2021, 10:28 PM

Green with 22 points, a SICK dunk, and elite defense. You can tell he's been working on stuff like his midrange pull-up. He's still raw and doesn't handle the ball well, but I take a roll of the dice on his potential over Saddiq Bey or Desmond Bane any day.

22pts, 6reb, 8ast, 4stl

Bey with 17points, 17reb

EricaLubarsky · 03-06-2021, 10:06 AM

SLC and Memphis have been eliminated from the playoffs so no more games for them

Wonder if we see any PT from any of those guys going forward

EricaLubarsky · 03-07-2021, 12:01 AM

All of our rookies are back with the team.

Doesn’t mean PT, but they will be available

Was there ever a good reason given why we did not field a g-league team? Also, did they know prior to the draft we weren't going to have a g-team this season?

1) They didn’t want to have guys who earned 35k-125k a year to go through Covid protocols and the bubble just for the team to lose money. The GLeague barely breaks even in normal years and the teams that opted in knew they were going to lose money and signed on anyway. Thus, only 18 of the 29 GLeague teams opted in. Luckily we found two terrible teams that would let us stash players and get our guys some PT.

2) The draft was in November 18. Legends opted out one month later in mid December. There was no word on the Legends opting out when we drafted.

Bey drops 23 on the Delaware Blue Coats. Call me crazy but he looks like baby Giannis out there.

I mean the game is similar and they really move and play similarly.

The problem is one is 6'7" with a 7'1" wingspan and one is 6'11" with a 7'4" wingspan.

it's a difference but not a problem - he's a physical specimen and very athletic.

it'd be exciting to see him develop into anything resembling a baby giannis... it's up to him and to our coaching to maximize potential but the potential is there for sure. couple things that seem to be encouraging about him:
1. seems to have decent touch on his shots around the rim with his one handed jumper/turnaround. he puts lots of arc on his shots - not sure if that's good or bad.
2. the 3 point shot seems to be decent at least. hopefully gets to the point of being at least respectable.

and btw, was that a carry/travel when his defender went to the floor? it wasn't called but i wasn't thinking he had ankle breaking handles. his handle seems decent enough to attack and at least get off his own shot.
