intelligent player excel in Mavs system on both ends

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)
I don't know if I'd say Williams is too short to play center. Every big in the ECF is about his size.

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


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.

Kessler reminds me of Jeff Withey and that dude didn't last long in the NBA.
Withey was an outstanding defender in college and was Kansas' all time shot-blocker (by far).
NBA is a whole different game, and I don't see Kessler's ceiling higher than a decent backup at best.
Please do not draft this guy Nico....please.

If Brunson leave, I think highly of drafting Kenny Chandler who looks like Barea to me.

I like Jaylin Williams. The question is will he still be available? I think he has a late first round grade.

Is there a possible way for we to get Collin Sexton and trade Brunson for a C update?

I'm sold on both Jalen and Jaylin, but only think the latter of the 2 will be available.

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?

I know he's surely out of our range particularly with how he's shooting up draft boards after combine results but I like Dyson Daniels. Big guard, good attitude, can do it all. Reminds me of Haliburton who we tried to trade up for and could have been an amazing fit here.

Again, probably out of our range but he's one of the guys that stands out for me as someone that could really fit this team.

Yeah hes going earlier than 26. If you go to nba.com you can see the results on measurements like vertcal and agility drills they took at the combine.

If we were managed to buy a 2nd round pick, I think getting an African athletic freak C with good intangible could be nice. There're lot of athletic C in 2nd round this year.

I’ve even seen some mocks where a Tari Eason or Jeremy Sochan slip to 15. If that happens I’d love to jump for them. I wonder what 15 costs.

Indeed we need 2 or 3 2nd round picks to get lots of centers I still remember when Carter drafted two centers and one of those centers got a ring later when he played with the Michael Jordan era ulls

Tankathon has the Mavs taking EJ Liddell. Who honestly looks like another Eugene Omoruyi clone. Maybe plays better all around. We shall see.

Only issue is Tankathon has been updated in a bit. They still have Jalen Williams at 37 which is now a pipe dream.

Liddell seems like exactly what the doctor ordered. Two way player who can knock down threes, move on the perimeter and gets a lot of blocks. Seems undersized at 6'7, but has basically almost the same wingspan as Dwight Powell...

Jovic has a nice offensive game but I really dont buy that he can guard SF or PF. If DAL needed a bench scorer that can handle a bit, he might be a fit. But it looks like they have that as of now in Spencer and THJ.

Good podcast

https://open.spotify.com/episode/61n8nct2QUbOavRfb84UXx?si=rv_kesddSdmieUHwi2yl5Q&utm_source=copy-link

MavsDraft thinks Jake Laravia could have already been given a promise by a team to be picked in the 1st and could be the Mavs

Also suggests Mavs trading the 26th to Orlando for their two 2nds.
