mavs need to get a center in the second round and possibly some that fall out of the draft like the Heat got a year or 2 ago when they snagged that 7' 275 pound center that has a shot that they got and he could be getting a lot more play time next season as he improves every year moving forward. The key tp getting a big is picking cheap risk free bigs in the 2nd round when they fall there since most already have a center they want and the guys in the draft are not as valued because of how the game has evolved, more teams are going for other positions. Just get it done already and find us something half way decent. Id be happy woth Orlando Robinson and an addition of Kofi Cockburn to give us a stretch big and a banger under the rim.
Kamagate reminds me of a young D Howard without the experience and that might make an interesting add but I think KC and OR are the better options as a pair that can play on the court at the same time in certain situations and they are closer to being ready for the NBA now. I see OR as a PF more than a center since he hits 3's above average for a big and KC is a legit brutal banger at 300#'s and with a major vertical he is going to be a beast to contain with Luka feeding him.
He is a high % unstoppable 2 or 3 points every trip down the court if we need it.
They may both be available in the 2nd and many consider Kofi a guy you can get undrafted or at the tail end so easy for us to make a deal and get it done. OR was even listed in a mock as someone we should take at 26. His reach and vertical are nice as well but both did not block a lot of shots so they still need to work on that but that may be due to them being used as a big part on offense and way more so than the guys that focus on blocking more. Dirk and Kidd would fix that problem.
I'd still add a veteran to play center as well. youth is not an issue when you have 2 centers from a deep draft filled with them but I would possibly want Hartenstein even though he was not a starter, McGee, Whitside, M Robinson, Bamba are also looking to get a new deal and might want to play here. Powell has to go and if Boban is benched why even have him on the team?
