More and more, we've seen NBA personnel pass on guys with more tape because it's easier to tear them apart, and take gambles on unknown guys with less tape and 'potential upside' (see Thon Maker, record number of International players drafted). I love Mali, but one of his biggest issues is his inefficiency, and it's rare to see a big leap in percentage totals for a player who would be taking MORE shots. That, plus the fact that he would be the age of most college juniors, lead me to believe that the 'long term' prospective might not be as rosy as JB would like to paint it (in this particular instance, there are definitely many circumstances in which it is)/ [/QUOTE]
