Trade-up Targets
1) Devin Vassell -- 6'7" | 6'10" wingspan
- is the exact wing defender the Mavs need in the starting lineup with a great three ball
- elite in catch and shoot (1.22 PPP) and transition (1.41 PPP)
- great on-ball defender (0.50 PPP)
2) Tyrese Haliburton -- 6'5" | 6'7.5" wingspan
- fits offensively with great potential to be 3rd banana/2nd creator and great defender
- elite in spot up (1.43 PPP) and catch and shoot (1.49 PPP)
- great on-ball defender (0.50 PPP)
Draft at #18 Targets
3) R.J. Hampton -- 6'5" | 6'7" wingspan
- if his shooting improvement is legit...TAKE all day, one of the highest ceilings in the draft
- probably the fastest player in the draft
- can get to the rim at will (but needs to improve finishing a lot)
- all the athletic tools and with the right development has the potential to be the exact kind of big the Mavs need
- good on-ball defender (0.61 PPP)
5) Saddiq Bey -- 6'8" | 6'10" wingspan
- great 3&D player, but his lack of athleticism, explosiveness, and lateral quickness is concerning
- elite in transition (1.39 PPP) and in spot up (1.31 PPP) and great in pick and roll (0.94 PPP)
- great one-on-one defender (0.56 PPP)
6) Aaron Nesmith -- 6'6" | 6'10" wingspan
- his shooting numbers are just insane and he shows enough potential as a defender to intrigue me
- elite at spot up (1.23 PPP), catch and shoot (1.64 PPP), and off screens (0.93 PPP) and good off dribble (0.92 PPP)
- solid defender one-on-one (0.71)
Trade for/Buy #26 Targets
7) Tyler Bey -- 6'7" | 7'1" wingspan
- great and athletic big wing prospect who can be a small ball big as well, the kind of versatile player that can bring team defense together (would honestly take him at #18 if others aren't there)
- great around the rim (1.33 PPP) and good at spot up (1.02 PPP) and elite mid-range jump shot (1.14 PPP)
