I have Black as the 5th best player in this draft.
No way he falls to 10.
If he's there at 10 and the Mavs decide to pass on him for a trade down, I'd be in every social media platform petitioning for Nico's firing.
At this point, I'd take him over Hendricks or Walker.
IMHo, Black just fills a lot of holes on the Mavs:
* point of attack defender (I think he is at least, at par with Wallace).
* at 6-7 you can classify him as a wing, and can ably guard 2s and smaller 3s.
* he is a very physical for a guard, if you have him and Luka on the floor, you can just imagine the aches and bruises those two can dish out on smaller guards.
* his 3 point shooting isn't there yet, and I don't see a broken form, he'd improve on it.
* cuts to the basket as well as any wing, ending on dunks.
* Mavs need a third playmaker regardless if Kyrie stays or not.
* he is a good rebounding guard
* he is a big PG, and he isn't just a ballhandler but he is a true facilitator.
Right of the bat, AB is a mix of Josh Giddey and Lonzo Ball.
I'd trade up for that kind of player.
I am sure Mavs will work out a lot of players. Because they are interested, because they are doing a favor to the agent or for whatever other reason. Just for some reason, they prefer to keep it as a secret, who they are working out
