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

[Jason Terry]

It sounds like most, not all, would be fine keeping the pick if one of Black, Walker or Hendricks fell to 10.  There has not been a lot of talk about Ausar Thompson here.  Would you take him if he made it to 10?  Doesn’t he feel like the guy someone would pay to move up for?  I have watched his highlights and him and his brother look impressive.  I just can’t get a firm grasp on the completion though.  I have seen some mocks recently where he is available at 10.

I also think it’s most likely Ausar is the guy the falls to 10. With a guard being taken at 7, 8, or 9. And i think this would be the perfect situation. We could sell high on pick 10. Ausar is a multi-year project. While I’m an advocate of drafting one of those this year, there’s several good ones all throughout the draft. We MUST get real production next season out of the #10 asset
