This guy has lots of info who worked out for Mavs

It seems Mavs did several workouts with priority UDFA guys a few weeks ago.  I am glad they did.  It certainly doesn't hurt to bring people in.   Ideally, you bring a handful at a time and see them workout against each other. 

Most of the first round draft picks weren't working out until after the combine and once the draft order was set.   You are starting to see these workouts.   In such an wide open draft, I will be disappointed if Dallas doesn't work out most of the prospects in the 6-25 range.   Mavs just can't focus on the top 12 guys.   They may really like a few guys who most of the national media have lower down.  

Bilal is really tricky.  I don't have a firm grasp on him, but he does look great in the highlights how he moves.   But, with such a young front office, he is such a tricky evaluation.  Hopefully a guy like Lindsey can help here.  For instance, no one Dallas front office can say, this guy is further ahead than OG was at the same age.  Or we see this guy tracking very similar to Mikal Bridges.   Dallas doesn't have that past reference on these prospects.    Sort of puts them in a tricky spot.   You can always evaluate prospects, but they lack the years of comparing past players.
