If you're asking for who I want for the coaching job --- anyone but JKidd.
If you're asking for who I want at 10:
Short Answer:
If the Mavs lose Kyrie -- it's Jalen Hood-Schifino.
If the Mavs retain Kyrie -- Cam Whitmore
Long Answer:
If the Mavs get lucky and these guys are still available at 10:
1. Hendricks
2. Black (If Kyrie stays, I'd be looking at the best available wing, but Kyrie's not with the Mavs, Black is the replacement PG)
Has a good chance of being available at 10:
1. Whitmore
2. Jarace Walker
3. Wallace
4. Jalen Hood-Schifino (Probably a bit too high at 10, but if the Mavs lose Kyrie, he's a MUST have .
Trade Down candidates:
1. GG Jackson
2. Lively
3. Leonard Miller
A Note on Dick: I'm sure he'd be a good player. I can see him being better than THJ already even on year 1. But pairing him with Luka takes a blow on defense. If Kyrie stays, there's no way you take the floor with Luka-Kyrie-Dick. And at pick 10, I'm really hoping for a mainstay for years.
