Reports: Mavericks Looking Into Jon Scheyer

After the Dallas Mavericks fired coach Jason Kidd, a rumor sparked that new GM Masai Ujiri would make a run at Duke’s Jon Scheyer.

From his point of view, it makes sense. Scheyer has shown a striking command of the game, an ability to rapidly adapt to changes in the game, and of course, he has a tight relationship with Cooper Flagg, who played for him at Duke. In fact, his mother, Kelly Flagg, once said that “Cooper would run through a brick wall for that man.”

So it makes perfect sense for Dallas.

For Scheyer, though, it may make less sense.

First, he’s no Will Wade. Scheyer has built a very interesting team and he has made commitments to those players.

Second, he’s in a great situation at his alma mater, and if he wants a lifetime job, he’s got it.

Third, he’s got a young family, and he seems to be very devoted to them. Coaching is hard enough; coaching in the NBA means that he would constantly be out of town.

We could be wrong on every point, but it just doesn’t seem likely. Clutch Points’ Malik Brown doesn’t think so, either.
