2026 NBA draft thread

[KillerLeft]

At this point I would give Burries (or any of the other guards) a better chance of being an on ball NBA player than Ament, so from that perspective the rest wont be gone.

So you'd have him higher on "that list." That's my point, basically. 

IF, as I've recently been led to believe, Burries is an on-ball guy, always has been, and probably will be at the next level, then he'd be higher on the list for me, too. IF he's going to be a better version of Christie, even a much better version, then give me the upside swing on Ament. And either scenario assumes Burries is still there at #9. Just because we haven't seen many (if any) mocks that don't have him available there doesn't mean it's a forgone conclusion. 

I am ok with anyone's evaluation/ranking of these guys, especially those making decisions for the Mavs. Where I'm tempted to grab my knife and start blindly stabbing is when I read opinions that suggest targeting guys who clearly don't bring overt offensive initiation value to the table. It's like we've all been watching a different Mavs team this past year and a half.
