I think the main concern with TJD will of course be his age (23.32 at time of draft). It is much easier for a 22-23 year old to dominate in college ball than a 18-19 year old. Dereck Lively is almost exactly four years younger than TJD.

Big men do take a while though, and having a ready-to-play two-way guy who has consistently improved and "has that dog in him" is really enticing. Especially when you consider the Mavs will basically have the ability to lock him up for the entirety of his prime with his rookie deal and his second RFA deal.

If we don't have a trade on the table when our pick is up, I almost expect us to draft TJD.
