2023 DRAFT: Mavs take Lively, OMP, sign Mike Miles to 2-way, sign Jordan Walker

[DanSchwartzgan]

I think Dick is the most underrated player in this draft, because you know stereotypes. People will typecast him as just a 3pt shooter, but the more I watch him, he can handle, he can run on the break, he´s actually athletic.

No fear around the rim and that reverse is something you expect from a 6´5 guard not a 6´9 forward.

I´d be shocked if he never averaged 20 PPG during an NBA season.

What I’ve read about him is he might get hunted as an on-ball defender, but that he’s actually a very good team defender.  When I looked at my first mock a few weeks ago, my initial reaction was that I hope he’s gone in the first nine (as you say, because of stereotypes).  

I actually don’t mind him being drafted by Dallas…especially if THJ is outgoing in a different package.  I kind of wonder what Dallas would do between (presumably) Dick and Wallace if Thompson, Thompson, Black, Walker, Whitmore and Hendricks are already off the board.
