If they can also add a veteran through a trade, even better. Grady would be okay. Really, there are a lot of good players in this draft so it’s difficult to believe the Mavs could screw this up. This is the deepest and highest quality draft — in NBA history. This class will put a lot of veterans out of a job over the next few years.

Nice interview with Woj on the draft. He talks specifically about spots 1,2, and 3, but also on the general idea of moving up or down.
The last half mostly deals with his role on ESPN on draft day, so skip if you're not interested,
Biggest takeaway for me was his reiteration of how hit-and-miss the draft is. All those front office "experts" with hours of video and reams of data trying really hard to guess correctly.
So, y'all need to lower your expectations accordingly.
