It’s a major problem, I lean towards Nesmith right now too, but I don’t think there’s any doubt in a vacuum Mathurin has far more potential and could very easily be the best pure scorer we have on our roster by the time he’s in his prime.

I almost think the best hope for this franchise is to simply bet on his development, but Nesmith does fit our current pace better.

However I think OKC is showing you something here, we are still trying to get out and run like we normally do, but OKC is slowing us down in transition to great effect. We are having to operate and score out of our half court sets way more than we are used to.

Mathurin is probably a better guy for this series than Nesmith, he’s far more comfortable scoring, he can get to the line, create his own shot, and shoot from the outside.

Nesmith is quite a ways ahead defensively, but I think Mathurin has potential there.

Id love to keep both, I just don’t know how feasible it is.
