I'd like to officially petition that we stop comparing Travers to Bird and start calling him Koala Matrix. He's a hillbilly Shawn Marion.
Travers IQ is on another plane compared to the other G-League players. I think he can do a bit of everything and will just continue to improve.
You can't convince me he can't play 15 minutes per game on the Cavs, but perhaps it may be better for him to stay another year until we replace our coach.
The question about him is if he can be a Joe Ingles type of player - a glue guy that can play defense, help the flow of offense, knock down some shots. Seems he may be developing along that line to become a good rotation player and spot starter.I like that he played deliberately rather than frantically. He never looked rushed, and kept his head up and on a swivel at all times looking to make the right play.
Doesn't have "potential superstar" written on him. But he does look like a guy who will contribute in his role, and always play within himself. And he'll keep the ball moving, which is absolutely critical for a guy who isn't a primary option.
He looks like DiCaprio now.
5th picture is Luke. It’s just not the same without the Mullet
