With the 18th pick the Mavs select Josh Green

There needs to be more trades or we just don’t have the roster spots, right?

I like that he could have been a pro Aussie football player. Maybe he can be Rick's non milk drinker.

Josh Green says he was super-pumped when the Mavs drafted him, and that he's been a Mavs watcher for as long as he can remember. Says he kept checking with his agent, "What are the Mavericks thinking? What are the Mavericks thinking."

I really think and hope that the next thing on their list should be to move Wright and erase his 21-22 salary. Find a desperate team who wont be in the 2021 FA race...Portland, Warriors...

Edit-

The corners look good at least.

It looks like he pretty much stood on one side of the court.

Green pick is starting to grow on me. First I want to talk about some of the other options and hypothesize as to why the Mavs passed them up:

1) Precious Achiuwa - no jumper and more of a 3/4/5 defender (which we already have in Kleber)

2) Tyrese Maxey - needs ball in his hands to be completely effective and realistically can only guard 1s and 2s

3) Saddiq Bey - this one is tough... I think it ultimately turns on upside


The positives with Green shouldn't be overlooked:

1) Pedigree - Green was the number 8 player in his HS class

2) Physical Upside - Green was top 5 in lane agility and top 10 in vertical leap at 6'5', 215 lbs.... the kid is a specimen

3) Intangibles - by all accounts a great kid who interviewed well and bought into his role at Arizona

4) Defense - the kid has a unique combination of size and strength that allows him to guard 4 positions

5) Corner Shooting - Green was a fantastic shooter from the corner and should receive a plethora of good looks with Luka facilitating
