And having usefull player on rookie salaries is pretty important these days.
And i also dont see how this roster cant handle two rookies...

Unless they see someone who can step in and immediately make an impact, I just don’t see them using both picks. Our roster is full of average role players, and although I agree there is room for 2 rookies, I’d be surprised if the Mavs FO sees it that way.
I could be wrong, but I see the Mavs in a similar situation with Luka as they were with Dirk in terms of using their draft picks as trade pieces to build a supporting cast. That is pretty evident to me by already using that strategy to acquire KP and I don’t see it changing going forward considering we’ll most likely be picking in the 20s in the drafts you mention.
Yeah, if a guy like S Bey or Vassell slips to us, or we can trade up using both picks to get one of them (or someone they really like), then I can see them using the pick. But that isn’t likely to happen imo.
I could see them trading #18 (maybe our best trade piece right now) in some type of package for a proven wing that will fit our rotation and cap situation and use 31 for a player to develop an intriguing player like Poku if he is still available.
