Sometimes, one’s reputation precedes themselves. The same can be sound about NBA teams. If you’re looking to hold an accurate view of them, you can’t let it.

For example, look at Dorrian Finney-Smith of the Brooklyn Nets. For a while, this was seen as one of the best 3-and-D wings in the NBA.
Recently, the “3” part of that equation has been non-existent.
Should the Phoenix Suns trade for him anyway?
