a) The Mavs should never draft basketball players and should just look for athletes even if they will get cut soon
b) The Mavs should look to trade these guys who do make it despite poor measurables if they feel they will never get into a bidding war for these types of players.
Or option c is Stop focusing on certain negatives. There are no guaranteed paths to titles. When you have legit talent keep that talent even if it is a slight overpay. Don’t rush to sign mediocre players like DP. Irrational focus on measurables might also be somewhat ok, but losing one of the few players we actually managed to hit on correctly for nothing is inexcusable.
I'm not following you, sorry. It seems like you're conflating what some fans think with what the Mavs think. I think history has proven that despite any petty gripes fans might've had about the Brunson pick, the Mavs were on their game that night and he was one of the best draft selections in franchise history. And it's clear they wanted to keep him, I believe.
