Remember that GM who picked three point guards in Steph Curry draft year? And made bunch of other terrible trades and drafts that made him one of the worst NBA GM's of all time? Apparently he's redeeming himself in Euroleague with the new Paris basketball team project. A small budget team is killing out there with 10 wins in a row, beating top European teams with Tiago Splitter having a debut head coaching season. How do they do that? By giving offensive players freedom. All that talk that Euros love talking about European coaching being superior to the free flowing American coaching...and they can't beat a small budget team, that is coached by former NBA player, themselves
TJ Shorts, a 5ft9 guy, is their leader out there, looking like Allen Iverson, and nobody can stop him. And he never even got drafted by the NBA.
Going to be interesting to see Tiago Splitter eventually becoming a head coach of one of NBA teams.
