Finding another cheap rotation player would really help to compensate for the loss of guys that the Mavs won't be able to sign/resign under the new salary cap.
You mentioned former top recruits as a potential direction. I would add another option. "Winners". Older rookies with successful college careers. Overperforming with weak teams or contributing towards deep runs in march. Brunson is obviously the best example. But just looking at last years draft the Pacers added Sheppard. Nuggest Strawther. Cavs Porter Jr. Two late first round picks. And an undrafted guy. All contributing in their rookie season. NBA ready prospects.
Yes, I am a big fan of the older guys who may get overvalued. I always look for tough guys who won’t be intimidated. I watched very little college basketball this year. Two guys who stick out to me are Shead from Houston. He is small and can’t really shoot but he is a dog. I also like Cam Spencer from UConn. He may not have the measurables of an nba player but he can play. May be the first player to talk back to Luka too.
