It almost seems like the Mavs could get their player at #8.... and it just wouldn't be all that much. Burries might just be another Max Christie. Brown and Flemings might just be C+. One of the biggest problems with the PGs potentially available is that there doesn't seem like much space between them. Even Philon might be lumped into that group.
Maybe the Mavs really like Aday Mara or Moritz and also think Philon is at least as good as the other PGs. Can you get both? That's the kind of thing I'd like to see. Maybe not exactly that, but something like that.
I've been beating this drum for a while. If you can't get Flemings or Acuff at 8 or 9 (and you can't), then the only way left to get the necessary impact out of this draft is to try to get two picks in the 11-20 range and grab two solid starter quality players.
