When can we call Mo an elite scorer?

You got to develop the kid sometime and give him an opportunity.

An opportunity does not equal "bringing a rookie straight from the D-league to starting".

Mo can't score against doubles or at the rim in traffic. Redd does both easily. If Mo becomes the focus of opposing defenses, I doubt very seriously if he'd be able to replicate Redd's offensive proficiency.

I don't want him to score against doubles. I want him to pass against doubles. That's what all players should do when doubled because when you are doubled at least one of your teamates is open. Even if you don't see that open guy you can pass to guy who you see and then he can find that open guy. One of the most beautifull things in basketball. Scoring against doubles is one of the most ugly things in basketball. Redd doesn't even know how to pass when doubled. Mo does
