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

[Scott41theMavs]

I'm a big fan of Hoop Intellect's scouting videos because I like the traditional strengths/weaknesses format. Here's Vassell:

and here's Hampton.

Think I'm out on Hampton because I don't think he could guard anyone at the next level, and the Mavs need defense more than anything else. 

Re: Vassell and the other 3 and D guys: why don't these guys go higher in the draft, considering they're one of the most-coveted treasures in the league now? Especially those with some size? I suppose it's because teams drafting that high are usually looking for creators. It just strikes me as strange that they go so low. Strong defensive college players who project to pro and can hit threes might be the rookies who can help a competitive team the most in their first years without hurting because their skills translate so well.

This is just a fan's perspective, but I like it because it ranks the players' NBA readiness. Dahlsim will love his number one and his reasoning; many others will hate it.
