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

[KillerLeft]

Who are those teams? Lottery teams?

I am assuming the Mavs are one of the teams that O'Connor has said has rated Hayes as a top 5 talent in this draft and a potential steal. 

That is just 100% guess on my part. I am not trying to refute the DraftExpress guys....I think BOTH sides are right....Hayes could slop because he is a mystery to too many teams, but there are a handful of teams who LOVE him.

The only reason I haven’t pushed back harder is that Hayes DOES fit the kind of profile of who they’ve been looking for, which lends some credibility to your dot connecting, imo. 

However, to commit the resources it seems like it would ACTUALLY take to move up high enough to get him (unless he falls much farther than we think) they’d have to be willing to commit to him in a way that could potentially slow this whole train down quite a bit. That’s the part that feeds my doubts. They’d have to LOVE him, not just like him.
