Through the games I have watched, I have seen multiple times when he has a teammate open, ready for the ball and it seems like Nowell can't see the player or has tunnel vision.
His improvised passing skills are great when he can see a lane. More often than not it seems like he isn't seeing the whole floor.
What surprises me is that even though it is early, unless there is a playcall, he is looking for his own shot first, them Moses Brown, then anything else that is open. I expect more from a floor general.
However he isn't nearly as bad on defense as I thought, but anyone who tries during Summer League looks better than they do in the regular season.
I wanted to be in the Nowell camp but I am not. If we think he is a great system guard at the GLeague level he has to show a greater ability to get the ball to the open man. He is missing obvious advantages. I don't see a player worth a 2way slot here.
I feel the same way about Ron Harper Jr. Neither meet my standards for a 2way slot.
That's why they like taller QBs in the NFL.
6'0 Drew Brees became one of the most accurate and aware passers the game has ever seen.
