It is tough for me to not take Burries once I make that comparison because I like White a lot. However, I look at that type of a guy as a great glue guy but I want a Robin next to Flagg with a top 10 pick, and I'm not sure Burries can be that guy.
At where we're picking, guys like Ament and Brown (if he slips) have that chance. Sure, you're taking a risk by going for someone who might end up as a total bust and you are regretting you didn't take the much safer bet in Burries, but I would take that chance if I were the Mavs. If we had picks in the next few years, I would be more open to taking Burries. Without too many picks, I want to take some chances with this draft.
I think the odds of landing Flagg's Robin at 9 is very low. I believe the goal at this point should be a core piece, either an elite role player (Burries, Ament) or a quality starting PG (Flemings, Brown). Personally I think Burries and Flemings have a better shot of reaching that level than Ament and Brown. I don't see much chance any of them reaching Robin level (and probably Ament least of all).
