Man, if they got that draft right Dallas may have a championship. Maxey, Bane, McDaniels. I was right on Maxey and Bane, but wrong on McDaniels. 2-3 is better the Mavs 0-2.
I have a lot of negatives on Morey. Dislike his arrogance and how he is willing to always upgrade a team instead of letting internal growth happen. He knows talent though. Both in the draft, UDFA and FA. He builds pretty good rosters.
It would be fascinating where VJ, Harper and Kon would fit if they combined both drafts. Harper had a similar uneven season as Peterson. Peterson probably has the higher ceiling, but I think Harper may have been considered in the top 3. I think.
I think Kon falls out of the top 5 (if we just go by their freshman seasons) and probably ends up in the 5-8 guard group to a team not needing a point guard.
VJ would be the fascinating one. Didn't have as good of a season as Acuff, Wagler or Flemings but come into college very hyped. Has amazing athleticism and good size. I don't believe he is top 3. I think some team may pick him over Wilson, but not very much. So he to is probably in the 5-8 guard range of this draft. I think I would have taken VJ over several of the guys ranked in this years class.
I don't think Harper cracks the top 4 in the current draft. I think he would slot in at 5 (or 6 if you are combining drafts and including Flagg). I think VJ and Kon would be just outside of the top PGs. I think they would be in the conversation with Burries (and maybe Brown). If we end up picking at 8/9, I hope we get a guy who has as good a rookie season as any of those guys.
