Oh, I'm not trying to make a statement about value. But, the Mavs drafting a guard has never quite sat just right with me. They have Luka and Brunson already - two young guards. Even if they like Hayes, I just have a feeling that a real, live young 3 is the thing this team needs the most. I've always felt like that, even before we started imagining DFS in another uniform.
I love Vassell, but I also think teams put a PREMIUM on the kind of NBA ready status a guy like Bey has. I think you guys are getting lower and lower on him for some superficial reasons. We'll see if he's a dud, but I doubt it.
Look at how well Brunson worked. This is another Villanova player - smart, well-trained, no ego, professionalism well in progress. He's got good size for the position, takes pride in defense and can shoot. I can see them being really excited about him, and there doesn't seem to be any way he makes it to #18.
Just a thought I had after Dan and I talked.
