Wagler gets to 8. Burries and Flemings make it to 9. He has them taking Burries. Also says Klutch steered Lively to Dallas. I don't remember hearing this.
Has Dallas taking Kayil at 30.
9. Dallas Mavericks
Brayden Burries, 6-4, Arizona freshman guard
Adam Finkelstein of CBS Sports reported that Burries hasn't taken many workouts and there is speculation that he's trying to angle his way to Dallas. I also have heard that same chatter, which is why he lands here. To add some more color to that reporting: Burries is represented by Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, who steered Dereck Lively to the Mavericks with the 12th pick in the 2023 draft, even though some teams picking higher wanted to select Lively. It would make perfect sense for Klutch to want Burries to be the guard paired with Cooper Flagg for many years to come. Burries is a physical, versatile scorer who can beat you from all three levels, rebounds like a forward and competes hard on defense. But he's a methodical creator rather than an explosive one, and his shooting history before Arizona gives scouts reason to wonder whether the efficiency is real or a blip.
Lot of smoke today for sure, but yesterday it was trading up for Acuff. The day before it was how high they were on Brown Jr... We don't even have a coach yet, and not a leak in sight there... I doubt Masai is having his draft opinions leaked to the media right now.
