“[#18] is a very, very popular pick. Pretty much every team in the league has inquired in some form or fashion on that pick.”

Though this generally is considered to be a weak draft, one thing this draft has is quality wings. That potential bad news for Dallas is that a lot of teams drafting in the Nos. 11-to-17 range also need wings.

A source wouldn’t rule out the Mavericks trading up if they become concerned that a wing they covet won’t make it to No. 18, but added that the draft is deep enough with wings that it might not come to that.

"We think we’re going to get something really good with that (18th pick), Nelson said. A wing? Probably, but . . . That’s not saying that if the right player, in a point guard’s body or a front court player, has big upside, we don’t feel pigeonholed into a (small forward) at 18. We’re going to take the best player. But, yeah, there’s going to be some threes there that we’re going to take a look at.”
