As Afseth notes, Dallas currently only controls one selection — No. 1 overall — in next month’s draft, but GM Nico Harrison has a history of making trades involving second-round picks. Omoruyi comes in at No. 80 on ESPN’s big board, while Onochili-Killen is unranked, so it’s possible neither player will end up being drafted."
Omoruyi (no relation to Eugene) played at Rutgers last year and is someone who I looked at last year. Pretty much a rim running big guy. His stats went down this past year but he was on a better team. Not really a draftable guy. Probably not a two way guy at this point. Probably someone to see if you can bring him to the summer league team and potentially become a two way in time. Probably a better player than that Sharpe guy who is 7'6 and blocks shots all the time.
I know nothing about Killen. As much hate as I put on the Mavs with their inactivity, they have done a decent job finding some good value that is passed over. Some guys have just had a cup of tea in the NBA but proved to be undervalued.
