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

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

I'm not putting too much stock in Lively not producing well as a freshie.
Players can make the jump the following year.

But..

Lively isn't a safe pick.
Yes the Mavs need a center and he'd probably get some minor amount of PT in his rookie year, but he isn't one to be trusted with (by any coach, and specifically JKidd).
Picking Lively at 10 is a big swing.
He can be a modern day TC but he could also be WCS.
The Mavs can't afford a swing and miss at this point

Mavs need a trade down if Walker, Hendricks and Black aren't available at 10.
