DRAFT: #18 [Green] & #31 [Terry] & trade for #36 [Tyler Bey]

[Scott41theMavs]

Speaking of a "better version of Trey Burke", I'm noticing Cole Anthony sliding in mock drafts. This guy, Greg Anthony's son, was a HS and AAU stud (MVP in all the HS all-star games). He was amazing his first five games at NC (easy top five pick). The profile below does a really nice job. NC had zero spacing (not an issue in Dallas) and Anthony tried to do too much. His efficiency stats are awful. The question is whether the truth is what he did the rest of the season at NC or what he was as the best PG in his HS class?

I like him.

It will be interesting to see how they handle this draft. Part of me expects them to go for a good, young player, and part of me fully expects them to shift into "acquire veterans" mode since they're so ahead of schedule.

I really want the Mavs to use their pick - even better if they do an anti-2013 and move up - but we're a team with no cap room that desperately needs two starters, and by far our best trade asset is that pick. Unless the MBT has a guy whom they believe will be on the board when they draft whom they are also convinced can start with impact from day one, that pick is so gone it's not even funny.
