I believe the goal at this point should be a core piece, either an elite role player (Burries, Ament) or a quality starting PG (Flemings, Brown). Personally I think Burries and Flemings have a better shot of reaching that level than Ament and Brown. I don't see much chance any of them reaching Robin level (and probably Ament least of all).
Anytime you are outside the top 2 or 3, it is difficult to get a generational player (sure you have exceptions like Giannis or Jokic. I don't count Luka as he should have gone in the top 3). Robin though you can definitely get in the top 10.
Looking at Ujiri's history, I would be surprised if he went for the player with the highest floor (Burries). It's not that I would be unhappy with Burries. As mentioned, White is one of my favorite glue guys. It's just that I want the Mavs to be a bit more bold here with a top 10 pick.
