The interesting thing for me is whether all involved view him as an off-ball or on-ball guard. The more I learn about him, the more I think he might be angling for a lead-guard opportunity, or at least the potential to ease into one, and the more sense that makes.
This is all going to be fascinating.
I've seen tweets that the Mavs are interested in Acuff, Wagler, Brown, Flemings, Burries, Philon, and Okorie. Even if we had a Presti-sized cache of high first round draft picks in this draft, there isn't room for all seven of those guys on roster. Reminiscent of "Kyrie might not be here in the fall."
These reports are somewhat good in that none of the top five (non-Peterson) guards would feel like the castoff if the Mavs picked him at 9.
