Outside of Wemby my favourite prospect is Anthony Black. A 6'7 guart, playmaker. Great athlete in my opinion, quick and fluid. A stud defender, a pest man to man defender, but he has also shown great instincts as a hlep defender. Also has active hands which is a great combination together with his size and fluidity. Once he fills out his frame it's easy to imagine him being one of the best defenders in the league.
On ofense, he is great at getting to the rim, explosive, also a good/great passer. Makes all kind of passes, out of the PnR, touch passes, Luka style crosscourt passes,... But he is struggling as a shooter. But I am a beliver in his shot, if he's a 37% three point shooter and 75+ % FT, he'll be a stud. I can see him being a Dinwiddie and Brunson hybrid on ofense. With the Brunson craftiness/playmaking and Din slashing/cutting ability.

Fun fact - he is from Texas(born in Duncanville), but he spent his first 4 years in Germany(Now tell me a story that's more Mavs like)

Some of his highlights
I know we need forwards and centers, but I totally agree here. Not sure he'll ba available past 8 as I have:
Wemby, Henderson, Miller, Ausar, Amen, Walker, Whitmore and Black as a clear top-8.
If we land 10 (go Bulls, go Jazz), I'd be excited to get Cason Wallace. Best perimeter defender in the draft/good smart helper and could contribute on and off the ball.
Luka/Wallace
Irving (max)/Hardy
Green/Z
X/Kleber
Y/Powell (vet-min)
Use Bullock/Bertans/Hardaway/McGee, MLE and the two picks we can trade to fill the rest. My idea:
DAL in: Harris, Nurkic.
PHI in: Hardaway, Bertans, Bullock.
POR in: Korkmaz, House, McGee, '26 DAL 1st (lottery protected).
Use taxMLE on Thybulle.
Doncic/Walace
Irving/Hardy
Green/Thybulle
Harris/Kleber
Nurkic/Powell
We just paid a whole lot of money to a guy that went 9-29 (31%) on FG and 3-20 (15%) 3-pt% in both our win or go home elimination games last couple of playoffs. SMH
