Kessler has good hands, a requirement for Luka lobs. And he looks quick for his size. If he can shoot at a decent clip from the outside, I think you can overlook his probable deficiencies guarding perimeter players for stretches. Kessler would probably not blossom as a Mav, and like any other traditional non star big, will have limited PT in the playoffs, but I'm sure for the regular season, a good coach can find a use for him. I don't think the Mavs or Kidd needs to adjust their play drastically, Kessler or any other rookie big picked by the Mavs at 20ish probably won't play a ton. I think the Mavs upgrade their bigs thru trade, although another big in the draft won't hurt specially if their main big from the trade is a underwhelming.
Although a big looks like the required upgrade right now, if JB leaves, I'd like the Mavs to pick a PG or at least a combo guard from the draft and just get the big thru trade.
