Mo had a few games here and there. Overall I didnt see him that great - maybe D League or Europe.

Not predicting any great success for Mo, but he has more of an NBA game than college. He won't make the Mavs, but he'll get paid somewhere internationally.

Agree. The one thing he really needs to improve is putting the ball on the floor & taking it to the rack strong. Not a big Doh fan as u know, but he didn't do this kid any favors. I would have had him working on this phase of his game to no end. Instead, Doh allowed him to hang around the 3 point line & become a bad long range bomber. This kid is very athletic & showed flashes of talent that we haven't seen around here from 6'9 kids. It will be interesting to see what he does with some real coaching. His brief stop here was a real waste of talent imo.

Ultimately, the kid has to be responsible for his own skill development. Doh is a turd, but he has very little to do w/Faye being awful off the bounce since high school. The reality is that any coach, Doh included, told Faye he sucks off the bounce, and that if he wants to play 3, he has to dribble drive & shoot w/range. He didn't take it on himself to learn either. He's not a world class worker, despite having good length and measurables. Another question is whether he has the footspeed, awareness and desire to actually defend in man

I saw flashes of someone who did have the ability
to take it to the rack successfully. Yes, Faye has to
have the correct mental approach. And yes,
the HC must do a good job of helping players
develop & I didn't see that. Both are at fault.
