Mavs have to keep the pick if Whitmore is at 10. He has the size to play right away and has too much upside at a critical position to pass on. Tremendous athleticism with lack of feel gives me some DSJ vibes but Whitmore only needs to defend and finish for this team.
G Kyrie Green
F Luka Whitmore

Dallas would still have the classic combo of a first ('27), a young player with upside (Hardy) and (semi)expiring salary to deal. Plus THJ, Kleber, Powell, Wood are rotation players who may have some value elsewhere.
EDIT: I realize Luka is the point guard. My point in noting the positions above is more about size. Green can (in theory) guard the opponent's best guard and Whitmore has the size to guard elite wings.
