To me, Dybantsa is the clear-cut number one. While I see Boozer as somewhat more hide-bound version of Tatum, there's just too much overlap between him and Flagg. Boozer's lack of rim protection locks him in at the four, which thereby locks Flagg into the three spot, with our not-great guard options. So many questions with Peterson, who seems like a selfish offensive M-80 who might have major injury issues - seems like a perfect fit with Washington, lol. I would be quite upset with the Mavs picking either of those two regardless of what pick they have.
Wilson would fit far better with Flagg than Boozer because he has some potential as a small-ball five, and I would love to see him in a Mavs uni. But given that it's more likely we either pick 6-9 (guard) or 2-3 (trade down to those spots if Dybantsa is off the board) than 1st (Dybantsa) or 4th (Wilson, unless someone reaches on him at 2 or 3 in a reach that isn't really a reach because Peterson is an Old Maid/hot potato), it behooves us to fixate on the guards.
