Unless the Mavs plan to play Lively big minutes right away, their two rookies just seem like guys who can help you as you bring them along. IDK, maybe I'm just drinking the kool aid. I have a feeling both guys are going to work out, though.
Oh, I have every confidence in OMax - I'll stick my neck out and say his floor is as a better, younger GK, and that's huge - especially at rookie scale as opposed to what we were paying his predecessor. Lively I think will be a very good player by year three, at least. Just don't know how long we have to wait. If it's year two, this draft was a killing for the Mavs.
I'm just concerned that if THJ is gone - and Wood certainly is - there may not be enough scoring. Given Kai's frequent unavailability and Wright's shakiness, I'm concerned that we're going to wish we had another playmaker. I like Seth - maybe he's good enough in that role.
