Even if BPA is a point guard?

Yes I know there's ways to make that work but Luka is going to dominate the ball. I would rather try to get somebody who can help us off the ball and on defense.

Yes even if it’s a Point Guard. What if Kira Lewis is the next Kemba and we take the next Justin Anderson instead? If we had gotten Kemba we’d be legit finals threats now.

Yep. Never draft for need. One when BPA and need coexist. Do not REACH for a guy. For the sake of this fan base please don't. We need this guy to pan out because I'm not suer how we are going to supply Luka with talent outside of the draft.

Again you guys act like we're going to be getting a top 5 pick that will change our life. In reality, this will likely be the best pick we get for a long time and without looking it will be around #18-#20 because we made the playoffs we're not a lotto team not going to be a lotto team for a very long time. So you can say pick who you think is BPA that's fine, but acting like they're going to be a life changer means you don't pay attention to the draft. Very few great players are picked outside the Lottery. It's not like the NFL where you got a first round pick you're more or less guaranteed someone great.

This is a different era than when we were in the lottery we are going to be too good those days are over. If there's a good defensive player available you take him over a good offensive player. Not saying anything that mind blowing here.

Walking away from the draft with two of the following will make me a very happy Mavs fan:

Tier One
Devin Vassell
Tyrese Haliburton

Tier Two
Aaron Nesmith
Saddiq Bey
Josh Green

Tier Three
Tyler Bey
Isaiah Stewart
Jalen Smith
Paul Reed

Every draft has a guy that scouts are wrong about. Let's look at history bit......

Guys taken after the 18th pick includded Darius Bazley, GrantWIlliams, Brandon Clarke, Jordan Poole, KEvin Porter Jr..Eric Paschall and Bol Bol.

Are these stars or game changers?Not yet. But they are solid rotational guys that could help this team. This may be the best pick we receive for awhile so let's not take this for granted like we have in the past with drafting guys like DoJo and Mo Ager.

Kudos to Presti for the Bazley and Dort selections. Both are going to be legit contributors for many years.

AHh I didn't know Dort was apart of that class too. He's already defending James Harden in his rookie year. I think Dort has a high ceiling if he can get more consistent with his jump shop. Very underrated draft class from Presti there.

This is why I say don't take this draft lightly. I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I know all of the prospects who will be around at that point but I do know every draft whether its considered a "weak" one or "strong" one there are always guys available.
