26th pick. Could have gone to 23rd, if they had tanked the last game. Oh well. 
Anyways, I looked at Kamagate. I like that he finished with both hands around the rim with little hookshots. He´s very raw, almost clumsy, but there is potential. He played in the French 2nd division last year, got his team promoted, so clearly contributed to winning at a young age. Then went to work with Holger in the summer and translated his stats from the lower league 1 to 1 into the top league. I´m sure we´ll have the inside track on this kid. French-African background usually means soccer growing up, means already good footwork and spacial awareness. If Holger says he got it, I trust his opinion a lot more than any scout on the Mavs. That being said he´s projected #31 right now. I think it´s worth considering buying an early to mid 2nd round pick for him.
Tankathon currently has Jaden Hardy projected to fall to the Mavs at #26 behind his G-League struggles. When you have the top ranked guard out of highschool falling to you at #26, you just take him and ask questions later. He looks great physically. A fast athletic 6´5 SG would fit perfect with Brunson and Luka. His shot mechanics look fine to me, despite the bad G-League numbers. Also a bad year in the G-League and falling to #26 pick would put a chip on the shoulder of a player that plays with some arrogant swagger as far as I can see.
