The problem with this strategy is that any player with lots of 'upside' still left by the time the Mavs draft either has a low chance of every getting to that upside, or has some serious flaws in their game.

I dont think so...for years they ran after the "Wade light" SG in the draft and blew it...Ager, D. Jones, Cunningham...

Exactly my point. They went after what they thought was higher upside, with terrible results. Much like Jerry Jones used to do...and with the same results.
