2022 NBA DRAFT

[ejs78]

Do anyone notice that there're a lot of draftees with long wingspan in 2022 draft pool?

Like Jalen Williams

If the Mavs keep the pick and no ridiculous talent fall , then Klesser is an easy choice.

For 2nd, look for someone on simple role

What u mean for 2nd? Mavs dont have a 2nd right? If we had, we could have taken kessler.

Spend Cubans money and buy some second round picks isnt that what he said he could do?

Well, Cuban says a lot of things. It's way too much. Some of them are forgetten eventually. But yes, the second round talents are great. I think you can find rotation players right there. As the Mavs are limited in assets, this is one of the easiest ways to gain more assets.

I'd actually consider trading for Mo Bamba before drafting Klesser.

problem is rosterspots. We need to get rid of 3bs

Yeah I personally don't think Klesser is the fix to our C issues. Sure his block numbers look great, but he's not the most versatile switch defender.

I would rather Tari Eason, kid has massive defensive potential though the likelihood of him
falling to us is slim. I'd rather sign up JaVale McGee for cheap rather than take a C that isn't really made for the modern day game like Klesser.

Mavs draft on Twitter keeps going with Jaylin Williams or Kamagate

Most mock drafts just put names who they think the Mavs would draft rather than considering the draft tendencies of the GM who does the choosing. Since it's Nico's first year, we have no idea about his tendencies. Don't you just hate it when every year mock drafts would have the Mavs draft some white euro stiff just because the Mavs are European friendly by default? Last year the experts had the Mavs taking Pokusevski just because he fits the stereotype. This year it's Jaylin Williams because the expert opinion is "the Mavs need a center". Of course they do, but Jason Kidd is not stupid enough to hand a starting center role to a 20 year old on a legit playoff team. Any guy they draft is at least two years away from being ready.

Since wings are easier to develop, I prefer the Mavs to draft a BPA wing and just sign a "finished product" center so they can skip the development part. Drafting a center has a bigger chance of going bust or would take time to develop. See James Wiseman or Deandre Ayton, and these guys were even drafted with lotto picks. What do you think the talent level would be at #26?

[SOUNDCHASER]

if you want a rookie center to develop long term you get one in tyhe 2nd and you try to trade trash and offer cash and trade down to get 2 picks instead of one and then you pick 2 centers and keep the one who does the best.

Some of those guys may fall out of the draft completely. Yurtseven in Miami was not even drafted and he will be a monster in a few years because they took the approach to get him on the team and develop him. 6'11" can shoot and is 275. If we had him on the team he would have kept Looney away from the rim for sure.

Kofi that big 300 pound 7' center that may not even get drafted is someone we should be getting on the phone with to wrap him up now.

Show interest now and if he falls out of the draft you fly him in and sign him to a rookie deal to stash him in frisco to see what he can learn to do up there.

Hopefully he can show the banging ability to defend on that end while drawing fouls on the other end to get the other teams big in trouble. You need to improve the interior D this season and no matter who we trade for you also need to add on a rookie like Kofi if he is out of the draft and available.

Kamagate may take a pick like we have to snag him and if another stud wing is waiting there then I may be tempted to grab that and pray a guy like Kofi is there in the 2nd for us to buy a pick and get or out of the draft completely.

We should have gone after Yurtseven when he was available with his European pedigree and his size and shooting skills.

Mo is a deep threat now as well so yeah he is a fit.

Mo got no motor tho. And he had the perfect guy in vuc to teach him, still coulznt get a startinc spot in 1 of the worst teams in the league. But sure, taxmle he might be worth. Think he will get offered more tho from someone, like knicks if they dont draft a c

[Apz]

What I really want to do, but i dont ghink its possible after the combine, is to trade up enough to grab jovic. Its hard to say from whats available, but reminds me a lot about mpj without the back issues. 6'10, mobile, good shooter and got no issues shooting over coverage apparently. Used to be late 20s, but keeps getting higher. Last i saw was like 15 which feels out of trade up range, ubless we give brunson and our pick maybe? Dont think it works with brunson since expires tho and cant see anything else we have that moves 10 spots. Think team that had 15 also had 13 so if possible they would have done it

Luka Garza is barely getting PT on tanking DET, do you think this guy is going to be better?

If we pick Kessler, we'll regret it more than we regret selecting Green.
Kessler has some skills we could definitely use, but his weaknesses heavily outweigh his strengths....at least in terms of fitting in our system.

Kessler is one of several names I don't want to hear when we pick on draft night along with:
Kendall Brown - Josh Green 2.0
Patrick Baldwin - Doesn't bring what we need in a big (Rebounding/Defense).
Jaylin Williams - Too Short (for Center)

Klesser has a 31 PER which is as good as Stewart of Pistons in draft. I think people forget it is 26th pick. You can't expect much. Klesser sounds fairly intelligent and athletic and can really block shot. With a very weak frontcourt, I don't see problem Klesser hit the rotation better than expected. At least, I won't consider Liddey. And we've got tons of depth at 2/3. Players at 26 is unlikely to hit rotation at 1.

I'm happy drafting a basketball player this time...
