I just mentioned it because a lot of people are all in on the top 4 + top 5 guards consensus. It seems like some posters would consider it a failure if the Mavs don't leave the draft with one of the guards. If they don't end up with one of the consensus guys.
Case I was trying to make is that the decision makers shouldn't and most likely won't care all that much about the consensus. Hard to imagine that the Mavs have all five guards in the same tier. Possible that they are completly out on one of them (Flemings rumor). Possible that they are much higher on some of the guys in the 10-20 range.
That's why I won't lose my mind if the Mavs trade down or pick someone else at #9.
Super reasonable and exactly where I am at.
