DRAFT: #18 [Green] & #31 [Terry] & trade for #36 [Tyler Bey]

[Kammrath]

My updated Mavs-centric board (meaning I am listing the guys I think are a good fit in the organization and possible to get in the right situation).

I have 7 guys I am grading as first rounders for the Mavs to try to get and then I have 7 guys I am grading for the 2nd round at the moment. 


Trade-up Targets

1) Devin Vassell -- 6'7" | 6'10" wingspan

• is the exact wing defender the Mavs need in the starting lineup with a great three ball
  
• elite in catch and shoot (1.22 PPP) and transition (1.41 PPP)
  
• great on-ball defender (0.50 PPP)
  

2) Tyrese Haliburton -- 6'5" | 6'7.5" wingspan

• fits offensively with great potential to be 3rd banana/2nd creator and great defender
  
• elite in spot up (1.43 PPP) and catch and shoot (1.49 PPP)
  
• great on-ball defender (0.50 PPP)
  

Draft at #18 Targets

3) R.J. Hampton -- 6'5" | 6'7" wingspan

• if his shooting improvement is legit...TAKE all day, one of the highest ceilings in the draft
  
• probably the fastest player in the draft
  
• can get to the rim at will (but needs to improve finishing a lot)
  

4) Precious Achiuwa -- 6'9" | 7'1.5" wingspan

• all the athletic tools and with the right development has the potential to be the exact kind of big the Mavs need
  
• good on-ball defender (0.61 PPP)
  

5) Saddiq Bey -- 6'8" | 6'10" wingspan

• great 3&D player, but his lack of athleticism, explosiveness, and lateral quickness is concerning
  
• elite in transition (1.39 PPP) and in spot up (1.31 PPP) and great in pick and roll (0.94 PPP)
  
• great one-on-one defender (0.56 PPP)
  

6) Aaron Nesmith -- 6'6" | 6'10" wingspan

• his shooting numbers are just insane and he shows enough potential as a defender to intrigue me
  
• elite at spot up (1.23 PPP), catch and shoot (1.64 PPP), and off screens (0.93 PPP) and good off dribble (0.92 PPP)
  
• solid defender one-on-one (0.71)
  

Trade for/Buy #26 Targets

7) Tyler Bey -- 6'7" | 7'1" wingspan

• great and athletic big wing prospect who can be a small ball big as well, the kind of versatile player that can bring team defense together (would honestly take him at #18 if others aren't there)
  
• great around the rim (1.33 PPP) and good at spot up (1.02 PPP) and elite mid-range jump shot (1.14 PPP)
  
• solid post defender (0.82 PPP) and great one-on-one (0.48 PPP)
  

Draft at #31 (or another 2nd round pick) Targets (in no particular order)

• great one-on-one defender (0.48 PPP)
  

Ty-Shon Alexander -- 6'4" | 6'8" wingspan
