The players you're describing usually end up as really high draft picks. Mavs fortunately don't draft high. 

I agree with you though. Drafting has always been abhorrent during Cuban's time as an owner. But the last 5 years in which they've made 5 picks, I really like the 4 they've chosen (Luka, JB, Josh, Hardy). It took me a year and some months to enjoy Green, and same with JB. 

It seems as if the Mavs are taking drafting more seriously though which is a nice sight to see.

The apex athletes that are skilled sure, but just like there are gradients to skilled guys (we did snag Luka and JB in the same draft), there are gradients for skilled athletes.  I'm upset we didn't figure out a way to retain Hunt.  Lawson is showing some flashes though.
