Sporting News has DAL taking:
[b]26. Dallas Mavericks: Christian Koloko, Arizona[/b]
[b]Position: [/b]C
[b]Height and weight: [/b]7-foot-1, 230 lbs.
[b]Age: [/b]21, Junior
Koloko is one of the best interior defenders in this draft class, as evidence of taking home Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year. The 7-footer averaged 18.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game for Arizona in the NCAA Tournament, showing off his tough and physical attitude in the paint on both ends of the floor. The Mavericks are lacking in size and Koloko is quick and athletic enough to keep up with their small-ball lineups. The 21-year-old is still fairly new to basketball, as he primarily played soccer until he was 15.
