Aguiar95's 2025 Dallas Mavricks Big Board

[aguiar95]

This is a Mavs-centric big board. They are not drafting a center, so I removed them form the board.

Tier I - Superstar (potential 1 or 2 on a championship team)

1- Flagg (Comp - Pippen)

Tier II - Star (potential 2 or 3 on the championship team)

2- Harper (Comp - Cunningham lite)

Tier III - Bonafied Starter (potential 3 or 4 on the championship team)

3- Bailey (Comp - Ingram)
4- Edgecombe (Comp - Oladipo)
5- Fears (Comp - Maxey)
6- Jakucionis (Comp - taller Dragic)
7- Knueppel (Comp - Hayward)
8- Johnson (Comp - taller Cam Thomas)

Tier IV - Perenial Starter/Rotation Player (potential 4-7 player on the championship team)

9- Bryant (Comp - Anunoby/Aaron Gordon)
10- Demin (Comp - Giddey-ish)
11- Clifford (Comp - better shooter Josh Hart)
12- Essengue (Comp - Coulibaly)
13- Richardson (Comp - shorter Mathurin)
14- Clayton Jr. (Cop - shorter Jamaal Murray)
15- Philon (Comp - more intense Delon Wright)

Strategy:

If #1:
Draft Flagg (duh)

If #2:
Draft Harper (duh)

If #3:
Try and move down a couple spots where Jakucionis or Fears are still available and land another pick AND dump money (i.e: Hardy/Powell + #4 for #8 + #14). If nothing appears, draft Bayley as he fits better with our young core.

If #4:
Same as #3, try to trade down for more asstes. If Bayley is not there, go for Edgecombe.

If #11:
Scenario 1: One of the tier III players still available (almost impossible), draft him. We shouldn't trade future picks to move up for any of the tier III players.

Scenario 2: None of tier III available, try and move down, get another pick OR dump money (i.e: Hardy/Powell + #11 for #13-15 or #11 for #19, #26 and #27) and try to draft guys from tier IV. If no opportunity arrives draft Carter Bryant or Egor Demin at #11.
