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

[Chicagojk]

Rafael Barlowe put out his mock today with GG at #5.  Freaking NUMBER FIVE.  BTW, he used the same Jaden Hardy comparison for the same reasons we discussed.

Mavs will need to do their draft work on him.   His projection seems to be all over the place.  He looks the part though.   Being the youngest player in draft needs to be considered.   He was on a bad team and watching the highlights you see a lot of instances where teammates are open are in good position looking for the ball only to see a tough shot taken.  That is something I always watch for on highlights in teammates reactions.   Due to his age, he is probably on a longer developmental timeline that some of the other young prospects.
