Those could be real flaws. But that's not the question I want the Mavs asking in this draft. I want them to ask "Is Kessler the best basketball player available right now?" If he is, take him. If he's not, take the guy who is.
If you take a guy who doesn't know how to play basketball yet, he's definitely not learning how to play meaningful NBA playoff minutes in the next two years. We can see proof of that with our last pick.
The “best player available right now” at 26 will be worse at basketball than Tim Hardaway, Jr., Dwight Powell, Frank Ntilikina, Josh Green, and Marquis Chriss. Might find someone better than Sterling Brown or Theo Pinson if lucky.

So we have more guys to cut come October?
