Top 5 draft pick in the Cuban era? I would love to find another player like him late in the first round sgain. Sneaky good draft day by Donnie. Josh Howard and a good undrafted guy (can’t remember his name). I just wish the Mavs always gave away picks.
Marquis Daniels. He and Josh were rookies together in an era when Nellie, allegedly, wouldn't play rookies. It was always my contention that Nellie would play rookies who could play, otherwise, he wouldn't. Always thought Nellie had a dividing line. Can play / can't play. He was fairly stubborn about it. When someone's favorite rookie wasn't getting playing time, they'd break out the, "Nellie doesn't play rookies" saw. It was never strictly true.
