Anywhere near being the next Mendoza and I think we're in pretty good shape next year. Really has to work on his mobility to come anywhere near those comparisons.
I'm pretty sure it's specific to his case.
Edit: I think with him, the big thing was that he had signed a 2 way contract even though he actually never played in the NBA. The other G League guys that went back to college didn't have 2 way contracts.
Not as big of a deal in Niko's offenses
as in other offenses... Plenty of curls and staggers to come off of, and he does a good job catching and shot faking so he can relocate for a better shot. Plus he's usually pretty heads up when his defender leaves to help at getting to open spots.
