Jalen Brunson? DSJ*? Jae Crowder? Do you count finding undrafted gems like Barea, DFS, and Maxi Kleber as picks? Cause I sorta do. Look Donnie isn't a savant at the draft like he is at trades. BUT when he gets a feeling on a guy, it's usually right, and he does everything he can to get him. See: Dirk, Luka, Giannis (before Cubes overruled him). Mavs aren't completely incompetent at the draft now like they were from 2005-2011. They at least try.
*I get that DSJ is 1 stop away from China in NYK, but here he was a 15ppg high flying guard that turned into KP. So before you lament on the pick take that into consideration.
14x All-Star, 12x all-NBA, 1x MVP, 1x Finals MVP, 1 NBA Championship: Dirk Nowitzki, the man, the myth, the legend.
