I also think this thing goes 17 deep before I start to struggle with who to pick. If we aren't getting positional need or star power at #9, then give me two shots at it at 12 and 17.
I can live with the 2-shot scenario (#12 and #17)... mainly because the Mavs have a bare cupboard regarding the draft for the next few years. Even if we traded for a 2027 first-rounder later in the season, it's not likely to produce a player between 12-17.
It's probably unlikely, but from where I sit now the two-shot scenario had an advantage IF you're not in love with the player at#9.
