Time to revise my draft board in response to Kamm's way-too-conservative one...
Do not want for the Mavs, but they'll push the guys I do want down:
1) Ball
2) Edwards
3) Toppin
4) Wiseman
Trade-up Targets (if they slip to #10 or lower). Offer Brunson, 18, and 31.
5) Okongwu
6) Vassell
7) Haliburton
8) Avdija
9) Okoro
Trade-up targets (if they slip to 12 or lower) 18 + 31 packaged
All of the above, plus
10) S. Bey
11) Smith
12) Terry
13) Nesmith - the big addition. If Kamm trusts that he might become worth a damn at defense, he deserves to be here.
14) Achiuwa
15) Hayes
Draft at #18 Targets. Wouldn’t trade up for them. If they reach #18, we draft them.
All of the above, plus
16) Hampton
17) Green
18) Reed (if I'm the Mavs and he's the best of these 18 available, I either reach for him here or trade down for him, as the next three guys should have strong value)
The pass on Reed, buy another pick for him, and take one of these guys instead if Donnie wants to take a flyer on this guy or simply build value crew:
19) Maxey
20) Lewis
21) Anthony
Trade for/Buy a later first Targets. Wouldn’t draft them at #18. Cuban said he was a buyer. Time for him to prove it.
All of the above if available, plus
Draft at #31 (or another 2nd round pick) Targets. Wouldn’t trade up for them. If they reach #31, we draft them.
The bottom line is, there are only four ways I can see the Mavs screwing the pooch on 18 with the players on this board: 1) Toppin falls and we draft him, 2) Aleksej, 3) McDaniels, or 4) reaching on another player I have below 22. If we end up with someone in the 5-14 range, Halleluka. Edit: also want to clarify that I agree with Kamm and would not be butthurt if the Mavs took Tiger at 18 if my 5-17 guys aren't available.
BTW, I'm kind of surprised that grown-up Terry doesn't get more love here. Wonder how his combine went.

All of the above if available, plus
- 22) Tiger
- 23) Williams
- 24) Woodard
- 25) Bane
- 26) Bolmaro
Draft at #31 (or another 2nd round pick) Targets. Wouldn’t trade up for them. If they reach #31, we draft them.
- Any of the above, plus
- 27) Ramsay
- 28) Aleksej
- 29) Alexander
- Draft using a traded-for additional second:
- 30) Riller
- 31) Flynn
- 32) Scrubb
- 33) Hughes
- 34) Joe
