It all has to do with where the Mavs are drafting, and how far they'd be willing to move up. I think T. Bey is good for where the Mavs are drafting. If they move up, or one of the guys who ought to be picked 1-17 whom the Mavs can use falls, then that's different. I think there's a 100% chance of T.B. being available at 18 (which, as I have said before, probably means he shouldn't be drafted there), much smaller at 31. The Mavs' scouts might come to different conclusions about T.B. than I do, and I'm fine with that if some other team gets him and he's not a contributor (the opposite would piss me off if the Mavs draft a guy who ends up worse).
My first rough Mavs' big board:
1) Ball (doesn't really fit the Mavs, but probably the most talented player)
2) Edwards (similar)
3) Okungwu
4) Hayes
5) Avdija
6) Vassell
7) Haliburton
8) Wiseman
9) S. Bey
10) Okoru
11) Achiuwa
12) Smith
13) Anthony
14) T. Bey
15) Williams
16) Nesmith
17) Reed
18) Bane
19) McDaniels
20) Ramsay
21) Terry
That's about as deep as it goes for guys I like-to-sorta-like at this point. Notice no freaking Toppin (although he'll allow us another choice by being taken top 10). We don't need any more non-defenders.
