I think Yaxel and Mara both jumped above the Mav’s pick, pushing a couple of guards down. But the guards mostly fared poorly. Lots of drama left in the pre draft process. But if Yax is there at 9, I’m just taking him. No regrets at all. He’s massive and fast and skilled.
The strange thing about Yaxel is that several podcasts have said he still has upside.... and he's good at everything.
I just watched another Burries video, and they say something similar about him. He's not super explosive and doesn't have one single elite feature, but he's a solid defender and can merge well into almost any lineup. He might be very good with Flagg because of these variable skills.
