I think the Mavs FO has shown a sentimental streak- all that Sarge crap they fed and maybe bought into. Was Shane Larkin's "pedigree" part of the heinous decision to draft him? Character and pedigree DO count for something. But the better run franchises wont let sentiment sway them so strongly.
Its truly disheartening that it took so long for Cuban to start taking the draft seriously. Its his largest miscalculation- even more so than misreading the "new" CBA back then, as they are part and parcel. Resources should've been poured into scouting. He shouldve hired the BEST scouts and gotten out of their way. Draymond, Gobert, Jokic, Isiah Thomas, Whiteside and many others all proof that every pick should be taken seriously.
