The thing is, a player with multiple great skills, feel for the game, able to get in the paint and score easily from under the basket. Its ok when there is a skill or two you lack (right hand, spot up shooting), when you have so many other skills.

The more skills you have, the easier you are going to adapt. If you only have one skill , and it turns out to not work, you are really going to struggle.

In general, for players not being able to get easy in the paint and score from under the basket, whatever the style, through layups, dunks, or posting up, or combinations -  this lack of ability is one major indicator for struggling in the NBA. If you cant get to basket and score, you really will rely on outside shooting, and contributing in other ways, and then it gets hard if you are not elite shooter, or even if you are elite shooter in college but not in the NBA.

Hayes is a very safe pick. Different guard than Haliburton. Gets much better to the basket than Tyrese does. They both have the feel for game and adapting to situations. Haliburton is far better shooter. However, Hayes can post up, and make the mid range jumper as well under pressure.

Hayes may be the best player from this draft.

'We know that we had workouts/interviewed with Saddiq Bey,Tyrese Haliburton,Immanuel Quickley,Aaron Nesmith, Fish also reports we like Desmond Bane. 
There are probably few more whom I missed, and some who isn't reported. 
But what is the common them between them? 
They are all great 3 pt shooter, with the worst (Haliburton) shooting 41.9% from deep. All on high volume as Quickley being the one with least attempts per game at 5.3. Non are freshman either and all has good sample size to show their shooting. 

My suspicion? Mavs are targeting shooters in this draft, and it will be either a shooter or an international prospect, unless we trade out/down. 

PS: This is actually what I wanted going in the draft, so it might be just hopeful thinking of my part

On a side note, I still don't get why the whole "Mavs leaked Ntilikina", Ntilikina is a player we genuinely liked across the draft, and we will never know how much we liked him since he wasn't available with our pick.

Next draft it was worst kept secret that we liked Luka, also Anderson was highly expected to be Mavs pick in 2015.

Mavs are vulnerable to leaks just like every other NBA team, no need to conspiracy theory things.

You think if they like Nesmith and he is available they will be like"Nah, he admitted we interviewed him, pass"

When Nerlens does it, he gets buried. If Luka does it, the guy who sold him the hot dog gets buried.
