"Win Now" mistakes

Looking back through the draft, the only player taken at #10 or later who could have had a similar impact was Jaquez. The Mavs would have been in a really tough spot if they had taken anyone other than him or Lively. Full credit to their scouts for finding a gem and their coaches for bringing him along so quickly.

Having said that, Lively wasn't the only path to success. Dallas would have had an even better year if they had been able to trade for a guy like Claxton or Allen. Long term I obviously prefer Lively, but going for the sure thing (if available - and maybe it wasn't) was still a sensible option.

Podzimski just replaced the guy we signed this offseason in the starting lineup.  Maybe he doesn’t have the same impact as Lively.  But, you don't think he would have helped the Mavs?

GG Jackson may have been the rookie of year on the Mavs

Moreover, there will be several other players in that draft in the coming years that will have a big impact in the NBA.  They are just behind more veteran players.
