Ryan is better passer and more alerted. Williams feels like another hardy boy too many slumps and some hops
What does Ryan Nembhard need to show the rest of the season to earn his spot?

Isaac Harris and Nick always have the worst take. This is why I just watch slightly’s clips and I stoped watching you guys. Nick twitted at 02:48 on 21/02/26 where he wants Mavs to bring back Tyus Jones next season LOL. B.will gets 2/3 blocks a game, you make it seem like Ryan Nembhard is Steph Curry, the guy is a come and he can’t shoot neither. I am only here for Slightly.
I feel as though b-will has become a little underrated among Mavs fans. He’s been playing some great bball as of late. However, he feels more like a 2 guard than our pg.
THIS TEAM SO FUCKING ASS LOL
Why do you keep playing the AD drop at the end of the intro? 😅
Man I love Slightly. He dropped Chetamyahu on the pod, Isaac looks like a Zionist to me
As a backup point guard u need to be able to facilitate and set the table pick ur spots and nemhard understands that Mavs should keep him beyond this season
As far as the draft they should target Flemings from Houston or Mikel brown jr from Louisville
Set up guards are not the way in the nba these days. Especially if they don't have the size of Tyrese Haliburton. Point guards who score have won all the recent championships
The NBA is becoming a league where only people 6'5" and above can play in it. Both guards are taller than the average person worldwide, but they are not tall enough to make a difference in the NBA. Neither is as good as Brunson, who is actually taller than both of them.
