We have seen guys in the top 9 in prior years who have been out of the league after a few years. I don't think that's the case with a single one of the 5-8 guys (Ament will be a bust). All will be competent starters as their floor. That's not to say they'll be perennial all-stars. One or two of them might.
I just want to watch and read more.
Flemings- really haven't paid him much attention yet
Acuff- I really like. My fear is he is 6'0 or 6'1. If true, that may impact his draft position
Wagler- low recruit, lack of explosion/quickness. Has not had a dunk the whole year
Brown- Looks the part, but after watching him for two games he is the type of prospect who scares me.
Ament- I think he has played better, but still some concerns about him.
I am not saying I don't like these guys but I just see wide variances of what they will become. I will be really surprised if at least one has to fight for a second contract. I think this tier is a bit better than last years grouping in this range, but that doesn't mean they are slam dunks.
Top top 3/4 would be franchise altering to the Mavs. The 5-9 is really tricky for me.
