Apparently drafting and developing is a fools game if you think you are a contender or have a generational talent.
I dont know about you guys...but every summer league team looks so so much better than Dallas.
Mortgaging the future is better than drafting and developing...who woulda thought.
On the topic of drafting though...
I dont know the numbers or percentages that will be thrown at me to try and prove that drafting is a crap shoot...
But my casual fan suggestion for the Mavs on drafting is to make sure the guy can play basketball(has necessary fundamentals) before even considering the player. Going further...dont get enamored with size and length even if thats where the league is going. Give the 6'6 baller with all around game more consideration than the 6'9 player who is one dimensional but you hope you can coach him up. Dont get lost in the weeds because you are chasing analytics or size...look at basketball players.
