Also strange to not acknowledge that Phoenix has had 3 times as many first round picks (and higher, as well) as Dallas since the Ayton/Luka picks.
So far it looks like Dallas may have missed with the single first round pick they've had since Luka - but when they made the pick, almost everyone here was happy with Green.
At least we know that Dallas41 would have made the same mistake he's criticizing the Mavs for making.

The problem with that is I'm not a scout being paid to evaluate players but I did describe the type of player Green is accurately right?
And if you notice I even stated I didn't see Bey as much in college compared to Green because I live in Arizona and Green was on TV out here often.
But I referenced his defense not offense as being a strength.
The Mavs have actual scouts so they would have more knowledge of Green, Bey and Bane
I think it's safe to say I used bias support for Green with him being a local prospect.
Not sure what criteria the Mavs paid scouts used to determine or project he was the better player than Bey.
That's as honest of an answer as I can give for liking Green.
