This is the best gif.
Look at the starting lineups for tonight's NBA games. There are plenty SG starters 6'5 and under. This is not an issue. If you can shoot and score at 6'5 and are sufficiently athletic, there is a spot for you in the NBA.The NBA prefers PGs to SGs even ones with size. If Sallis can run point, he’s more valuable. There are barely any traditional SGs under 6-6 mocked in the first round.
I watch very little NBA but doesn't just about anyone bring the ball up now? I feel like I've seen plenty of clips of LeBron bringing the ball up (and traveling atrociously)The NBA prefers PGs to SGs even ones with size. If Sallis can run point, he’s more valuable.

100% agree. Anyone on a NBA team now is crazy talented. Look at Alondes. He destroyed the G-League, but can’t quite get it going on an active roster. Lots of examples like that. Hunter needs to up his game to stick, IMHO even if he gets drafted. Hope he comes back to Wake and showcases his skills.LeBron is one of the best passers and one of the best scorers of all time. Not having the ball in his hands a bunch with a 24 second shot clock would be stupid.
The NBA is just a different game and the guys with the ball in their hands a bunch on good teams are typically incredible playmakers. The other guys who are Sallis’ size are super elite shooters.
Amazing to see the NBA takes on here. The days of 6’5”, decent athlete, decent shooter = all you need to secure a spot and have a decent career are long long gone.
Exactly. And he’s gotten significantly better since his time at Wake. He looked unstoppable this past year in the G-league against very, very good competition.Alondes is the same size as Sallis with a similar athletic profile. Alondes was an elite passer in college. He is barely on an NBA roster.
Based on what? This is the only tweet I can find since the visit tweet this afternoon.Twitter buzzing like Omaha is gonna happen.
