Acuff really is a bucket. Seems the safest bet from all the guards. I´m starting to like some of the performances I see from the guys in the #30 range. Had my eyes on Swain and Thomas before, and there are really good arguments, to trade up the Phoenix pick or acquire an additional 2nd round pick for both.
Right now I`m thinking
Take Acuff #6
Take Swain #30
Take Thomas #36 (trade two future 2nds, since Thunder have too many picks again, FGump would say the future Mavs GM is doing them a solid)
Take Krivas #49
Swain is basically living in Dallas already, which should make his transition easier. Him and Krivas are too old to defer another year for a weaker draft. Thomas might be tempted to push back another year, but with Acuff already in and a little smart contract construction you convince him, too.
