MAVS NEWS:

Yeah, that was the report. Boston moved back into the second round and picked up some seconds.   One of the players they picked was Jordan Walsh who was younger than Prosper but had some of the same traits.  Walsh has been up and down but has shown some growth recently.

I agree about the Mavs.  For a franchise who found Jalen in the second round, they sure did not take those picks seriously.  Most will not work out.  But if they do, it can really change things.   They are low cost gambles.   Mavs seemed almost uninterested in even trying for years.

Presti has had some misses.   Poku.  Traded Senguin and picked a player who has been pretty average and is no longer on the team.   He understands you will have misses.  He also knows (like Morey) that you can find value in the second round.   Not always, but players are there.   It seems like the Cuban plan was always hoping for free agents, while looking down of players drafted in the second round/late first.

Don't forget he traded for Gordon Hayward when he was with the Hornets. That didn't work out either. By and large, though, he's been excellent. He just stole Jared McCain from the Sixers, just like he picked up Isaiah Joe off waivers from Philly. McCain, who'll likely replace Cason Wallace if they lose him.
