There is no way I can say with any definitive confidence in such a limited amount of film that this Garland character is more than another undersized 2 guard with some lead guard handles and a high basketball IQ.

I am completely sold contrary to popular belief that they really thought he was so much better than anyone else available as the sole justification for picking him. They also believe still that the offers coming in will be substantial if they decide a Sexton Garland backcourt will never work.
The fact though is the roster now has 2 score first undersized combo guards and there is a very strong chance they really screwed themselves taking who they thought was the BPA for trade bait only to be left holding the bag.
All that aside if Garland can really shoot like that underrated kid out of Davidson then at worst they picked an elite bucket getter and that is not a bad pick, just not likely he actually ever will reach that level so if somebody like Hayes becomes a DPOY candidate and Garland is nothing more than Jeff Teague, it was the wrong pick

You keep saying it.....source?
 
Seems like as good a time as any to offer up a Patty Mills comparison. Thoughts?
 
Does this make anyone else sick? I am disheartened that DG is represented by Klutch (AKA LeBron) and every time it comes up it puts a damper on my excitement for Garland. At this point I associate puppet strings with Klutch and how LeBron/Rich are creating a personal LeBron-tailored talent pipeline rather than a true agent/player relationship (one where the players influence their agents behaviors/choices, not the other way around). It’s like all these players are really only playing for LeBron approval to play alongside him or Bronny in the future. Sorry to be so negative, but I have a very hard time believing that Klutch genuinely puts their players before their own gains.
