This is such a weird draft. If the Mavs don't have interest in centers, you have to hope that at least two of the three go before their pick. Although, I feel like there are not any Carson Wallace level guards who may fall to their pick. I need to do a deeper dive on the french point guard. It is just so tough to know what you are watching in their highlights.
The two physical wings who will be in that range are Murray Boyles and Carter Bryant. Boyles can't shoot. Bryant is really raw and was the 7/8th man for a good, not great college team. He does have really exciting upside. I don't think he will help much next year though. Noa Essengue is another player I need to watch more of, but he is another one that it is tough to know what you are watching.
I don't think I could draft Boyles with the construction of this team.
