who would you draft?

We're seven games ahead of the Blazers. If we miss the playoffs, Mavs need to tear up Luka's passport and force him to put work in this offseason.

Blazers 7-3 (.700)
Grizzlies 14-4 (.778)
Mavs 4-6 (.400)
Mavs may have a lead, but they have been sub-.500 and Blazers and Grizzlies are wrecking it right now.

Once Luka returns we'll get things back on track. We also have the 3rd-easiest schedule of the top-8 teams in the West... We're making the playoffs, although it's looking more likely to be 5-8 seed at best.
The bigger fear for me, draft-wise, is that Steph Curry is coming back soon -- he's gonna mess up that second rounder, isn't he? GSW are closer to moving that pick 9 spots from where it currently sits than we are to missing the playoffs.

They were talking about March so if that’s the case I think he would be back for 20-23 games or so.

We were only .500 in the 6 games before Doncic was injured too. It's not like we were playing outstanding basketball before his injury. If Mavs return to .500 and the other teams stay as hot as they've been:
Grizzlies 50-32
Mavs 46-36
Blazers 44-38
Then again, here's the ranking of the difficulty of remaining schedule
1) Grizzlies - the hardest schedule of any of the 30 teams
19) Dallas
26) Portland
Portland has a way easier schedule to overcome us. If Grizzlies keep it up against a ridiculously hard schedule then they both will. Regardless, it's gonna be really fun.

You’re using a 6-game sample where we went 3-3 as evidence that we’ll miss the playoffs? That’s a pretty insignificant indicator in this league. Hell, the Lakers recently went 5-5 over a 10-game span, and it’s not like it diminishes their overall chances of winning it all this year. And Portland just went 2-2 over their last 4. Basketball is a game of runs, both in-game and over a span of several games... Also, wasn’t KP injured, or at least coming back from injury during that span? I’m not buying a small sample size as predicative of what we can accomplish over the rest of the season, especially not with the All-Star break giving us a chance to heal up and re-center ourselves. We’re going to the playoffs this year. Project your draft scenarios accordingly.

I mean, we're also 16-16 (.500) over our last 32 (which represents 60% of the season so far)

But Luka and KP have only played together 10 times out of those 32 games.
