Some more, some redundant PLAYERS TO WATCH


These are players (and NBA comparisons) who IMO should be targeted by the Mavs in the upcoming draft. I've separated these players into three tiers.

The first tier is comprised of players who I believe will be lottery picks and therefore would require a trade up for the Mavs to secure (barring disaster post-ASG, of course).

The second tier is comprised of players who I believe are first round picks but not lottery picks. These are candidates if we stay put.

The third tier is comprised of players I believe will be available with the Warriors 2nd that we own.



Tier One

Anthony Edwards (SG, Georgia) - just a complete, prototypical shooting guard...a rare player in that people with his size, speed, and strength don't usually have the ability to score at all three levels... bigger Oladipo

Tyrese Haliburton (G, Iowa St.) - a lot of fun to watch... twitchy athlete and defender with improving offensive game... Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Killian Hayes (G, France) - skilled lefty with American roots... like Luka showing he can play with the big boys professionally... cliche, but a lot of Manu Ginobli in his game

Josh Green (SG, Arizona) - Australian who like Ben Simmons has a lot of natural athleticism and strength... right now a good defender with the potential to become a good offensive player as well... bigger, less skilled Donovan Mitchell


Tier Two

Isaiah Stewart (C, Washington) - really like this guy's fit next to KP... just a high-energy, high-effort player with an underrated skill set and elite strength & speed... one of the naturally strongest guys coming into the league since Steven Adams.... was ranked #3 nationally in his high school class for a reason... undersized, but is going to be a force inside and has the skills/ work ethic to develop a consistent jumper.... better Brandon Clarke

Precious Achiuwa (SF, Memphis) - a high energy force in the paint on offense and defense... would pair well with Porzingis and Luka... Rondae Hollis-Jefferson on steroids

Jalen Smith (PF, Maryland) - athletic big man with range and ability to defend the basket... Myles Turner

Jordan Nwora (SF, Louisville) - mature, skilled player with sneaky athleticism... high level shooter... Landry Shamet

Amar Sylla (PF, Senegal) - another great fit next to KP, people will be kicking themselves for not taking this kid in 3 years...Pascal Siakam


Tier Three

Cassius Stanley (SG, Duke) - just a roll of the dice on this kid's unbelievable athleticism (better Hamidou Diallo)

Jay Scrubb (SG, JUCO) - JUCO player who will rise pre-draft if he performs well against the big conference guys in workouts... basically the Anthony Edwards of JUCO

Tyler Bey (SF, Colorado) - high energy, consistent player who can switch 1 to 4 and has a better-than-advertised stroke... DFS with more hop
