You know what you getting from Dot you know what you getting from DSJ. Frank has not established anything and needs all the minutes with his teammates he can get. Perfect chance next to RJ.

According to this article Lamar Peters could be elite:

Damn. Peters sets his feet really fast and gets his shot up really fast, with range and accuracy

I think he sticks in the league

Also, that handle keeps defenders off balance and they have to respect his shot.

I dunno - there are guys with way better scouting eyes than me, but it just seems like he has "it"

Maybe WiggyB is this years "Mitch" and Peters is this years "Trier"

*edit* - based on that article, even though he's a junior, maybe still needs to sort out his decision making a bit. Sounds like another guy, what was his name? Oh year, Trier.

Peters might be more likely to be G-League bound, but feels like he could emerge from there.

Mitch with 10 fouls is a nightmare for opponents

I can usually tell pretty quickly watching a guy why he wasn’t picked. I can’t really tell with this guy. Would have to dig deeper.

I agree, but DSJ gets a lot of hate on these parts while Frank still has supporters. I think it is very telling on how people really feel to not include DSJ while suggesting Frank plays. We all know he can ball. I really hope they both pan out. 2 different types of players that complement each other.

Ohh he’s very small! He looked taller in the tape.

Yup, height is an issue. But guys like Van Fleet recently, Nate Rob earlier - sometimes they make it.

My take is that these types of games give a player a boost in confidence. Frank might need that, while DSJr. doesn’t lack in that area at all.

I wouldn’t really play Trier unless you really stress to him to play more of a point role. Otherwise, pretty useless to have him there.

A couple games should be good to get some reps in during the summer time. That's likely the extent of it. All of them gotta be hyped for the first game for sure.

Knox vs Zion will be a problem. That dude is super quick, strong and explosive. True test for Kev.

My only argument is if Frank can get his 3 point shooting to respectable he may be a better fit next to RJ. Just because Frank is bigger and can guard the opposing teams best guard. However if DSJ takes a big leap it will be hard. I feel Dotson would be automatic and a staple too, my point is I actually have faith in these kids to get better and make Fiz’s job hard.
