It got me to look into those guys and add them to my list of names that I already had there. Here's kind of a 'Top-8' for the second first rounder the Mavs have. Some will rise and fall, of course.
Christian Anderson | PG | Texas Tech
Morez Johnson Jr. | F/C | Michigan
Dailyn Swain | G/F | Texas
Isaiah Evans | G/F | Duke
Flory Bidunga | F/C | Kansas
Henri Veesaar | C | North Carolina
Meleek Thomas | PG | Arkansas
JT Toppin | PF | Texas Tech
All of these guys are ranked 25-40 on Tankathon. The No Ceilings guys are higher on Johnson Jr. and Swain as of now. They did a mock draft a couple days ago and have a write up for a few of these guys.
All good names. I have more deeper thoughts on some of them on the list. Some I like more than others.
I really think the two Baylor kids should be on the list for the late first pick. Tounde is probably going to be best suited going back, getting NIL, an coming out in a much weaker draft. If he does stay in the draft, he probably goes somewhere in the 20's.
Cameron Carr is probably the better name though. He is a RS Soph. He started out at Tennessee and left last year in the middle of the year. Not a great look. He has put up very nice stats at Baylor but the Baylor team is really struggling. Not saying he deserves the blame but it just feels like a guy who will slip a little, despite good highlights.
