He basically has al the physical tools, but lacks that first step or reliable 4 point shot to catapult him into true elite status. If he had one of those, this would be an entirely different conversation.
Worthwhile gamble of the pick at the time, some players develop that extra something (3 point shot) others don't.
Yeah, we never got the #1 guy (Mitchell? Brunson) and built the team of shooters around him we need for him to be a co-#2.
