Kammrath's Mavs 2022 Draft Board -- 1.0

Trade-Up Targets

1) Tari Eason — Switchable Center/Wing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfbsfp1eOt4)

21.0 yrs | 6’ 6.75” | 7’ 2.0” WS | 8’ 11.5” SR | 11.0” hand | 5.9% fat
Strengths: defend 1-5, athleticism, huge hands, offensive potential
Weaknesses: turnover & foul prone
NOTE: I think Tari is the ideal big man prospect for the modern NBA (and what the Mavs need). Due to the Mavs need at that position he is the one player I would target who I think might fall to a range the Mavs can reach in a trade (13-17).

Draft at #26 Targets

2) EJ Liddell — Small-Ball Center/Wing

21.4 yrs | 6’ 5.5” | 6’ 11.75” WS | 8’ 7.5” SR | 9.25” hand | 12.2% fat
Lane Agility: 11.11 | Shuttle: 3.23 | Sprint: 3.26 | Vert: 35.5 | Max Vert: 38.0
Strengths: strong, athletic, defend 1-5, passing
Weaknesses: short, body fat
NOTE: I debated whether Liddell would be worth trading up for. I am on the fence with that and at this point hope he falls to #26. I think he could be a Draymond Green type player and could be the kind of small ball center you could play almost full time.

20.6 yrs | 6’ 6.75” | 6’ 9.5” WS | 8’ 8” SR | 10.25” hand | 9.0% fat

6) Wendell Moore Jr — Guard/Wing

20.7 yrs | 6’ 4.25” | 7’ 0.25” WS | 8’ 5” SR | 10.25” hand | 7.5% fat
Lane Agility: 10.94 | Shuttle: 3.21 | Sprint: 3.30 | Vert: 32.5 | Max Vert: 38.5
Strengths: shooting, creation ability, defend 1-3

7) Dalen Terry — Guard/Wing

19.9 yrs | 6’ 6.0” | 7’ 0.75” WS | 8’ 10” SR | 9.0” hand | 5.4% fat
Strengths: young, creation potential, rebounding, defend 1-4
Weaknesses: thin, shooting consistency

8) Christian Koloko — Center

21.9 yrs | 6’ 10.75” | 7’ 5.25” WS | 9’ 5” SR | 10.75” hand | 5.7% fat
Lane Agility: 11.30 | Shuttle: 3.19 | Sprint: 3.27 | Vert: 28.0 | Max Vert: 33.5
Strengths: rim protection, dunking (PNR), rebounding
Weaknesses: shooting range, foul prone
NOTE: I like Koloko as much or more than the other traditional center types in this draft (like Walker Kessler). Even a guy like Mark Williams I do not see being much better than Koloko, especially considering the cost of trading up. I think a traditional center is not worth trading up for, because they likely won't play 30 mins a night and will have injury risks their whole career.
