Its looking like the Mavs pick will be somewhere in the 12-14 range. Lets assume for now they make the pick. Who are we liking in that range?
Looking at the roster for next season I see a huge hole at ballhandler/lead guard. Kyrie hurt, Exum & Spencer free agents. You would think they will bring a veteran guard through trade or free agency. Hopefully that will allow them to take best player regardless of position. But we are so deep on Bigs. Lively, Gafford, Davis, Powell, maybe Kai Jones.
What if Malauch is there when they pick? Or Queen?
There will be a potential impact player in that range. Almost every year you can find a late lottery selection that has a better career than the top 5 guys. This year i think its Buzelis or Ware, then we got it with Lively in 2023. Jalen Williams, Mark Williams, and Jalen Duran in '22.
In 2021 picks 9 to 14 were a disaster. Then you had Kispert, Sengun, Trey Murphy, Jalen Johnson all go in the 15 to 20 range.
