That should be the first thing K tells Grayson when they meet about going pro. He can't handle pro length yet
True on some level. But, the real question is where can Grayson learn how to play against pro length. In the pros, where he'll see that kind of length every day in practice and in every game; or in college where he's only going to see that kind of length in about 15-20% of his games against the best teams + against a bunch of freshmen in practice who may not be that advanced defensively. I'd love for Grayson to return. But, this issue wouldn't necessarily be a reason for him to return. IMO, if he returns, the areas where he really needs improvement before the next level is ballhandling / playmaking & defense. IMO, the biggest problem with Grayson offensively is that he's too much of a straightline driver and doesn't have many counters against defenders that can stay with him / help defense. he issue about length -- while clearly a problem -- is something he can probably learn better in the NBA when he gets to go against it every day. The ballhandling / defense is a bit more problematic -- b/c that may actually prevent him from getting on the court.
