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

[DanSchwartzgan]

I always felt that the Wizards were a likely landing spot for Wallace and that might determine whether one or two of Black, Hendricks and Walker fall to the Mavs. They need a (defensive-minded) PG next to Beal, but SF would also be an option. If they go with a big line-up of

Beal
Kuzma
Porzingis
Gafford

then I´d say Wallace is a natural pick. Schlenk might also have enough of midget PGs that can´t defend. 

Ausar Thompson might fall, if the Magic don´t take him at #6. Maybe Utah would consider him at #9, too.

I still say odds are heavily in Mavs favour that one of Black, Hendricks and Walker will be available at #10, especially since Ainge is not afraid to reach for his guy.

There was talk yesterday of Coulibaly going as high as nine.  

It makes sense for Orlando to either go Black or the lesser Thompson.  I think two of the PF's go to Detroit (probably Whitmore) and Indy.  So, the way I might put it (if Utah reaches and Wallace goes to Washington) is Dallas would have a shot at the lesser of Hendricks/Walker and the lesser of Thompson/Black.  Utah could use any of those guys, so if they don't reach then it is likely one of those four is left at #10.
