I know that Mali had games where he scored but Im not sure how that equates to upside?

maybe someday he shots consistently, but he only shot well even a handful of games
he was just OK on the FT line so for a shooter in the NBA thats not the norm of someone who will be consistent from outside but it can be worked on
he struggled to get to the rim and finish.  he was good at getting fouled, not sure how that plays in the NBA either where there is almost always a bigger guy to protect the rim and the guys he will need to get buy will be bigger and stronger than him.

in college he played the 3 and usually had a slower bigger guy guarding him and his handle, which is avg, worked because he has a pretty good first step.  his go to move was just a blow bye most of the time.  Now he will be guarded by a 2 and he will have to see if that works for him

G has played 3 spots, has shown a much better shot, better D, better rebounding, has shown a postup game too.  Thats where the NBA scouting always seems to confuse us college fans since so many guys who look good here never sniff real NBA careers.
