I haven't done as much of a dive into this draft class as many of you, and I get that there might be some transformative talent at the forward spots near the top of the class, but...I keep seeing people pencil in FRP at forward spots. I just want to say that unless there's a trade lined up for Dylan Harper, Haliburton or whoever (there isn't and won't be), that draft pick 100% MUST be used on a PG to my way of thinking. Maybe they can get a PG some other way, but the Mavericks MUST come out of this summer with one who is fairly close to Flagg's age, imho. This team won't offer an ounce of hope for me if that doesn't happen.
Kyrie is awesome, and I'm ok with him sticking around for a while if that's the plan, but that young ball-handler is THE piece that's missing if you want to build a team around Flagg. Everything else will be easy to find by comparison.
I am BPA, but in your above I would change it to a guard who can create and shoot over a point guard. In fact, in the prospects I have looked at, I lower prospects who I feel are solely point guards. Flagg is going to be the main hub in time. For a bit, Kyrie is going to be on the court a bunch. I am high on Nembhard and I think he fits as your sole back up point guard. If they draft a guard, I want one who has good size, can create and space the floor. My favorite position is the true point guard, but you have seen the last few years teams are getting away from the one true floor general type. As far as who, I am not sure. It is one of the reasons I like the potential of Brown Jr. from Louisville. Good size, really good speed, was billed as a shooter entering college and could play with another guard or run the team for a bit.
