Perfect outcome.
1. Taylor Hendricks falls to #10.
2. Mavs trade THJ to the Pacers for Theis + McConnell + #26 + #32.
3. Dariq Whithead falls to #26.
4. Tristan Vukcevic at #32.
His minutes are still pretty low in the ABA, when Jokic, Saric and even Bitadze were dominating this league at the same age, but the numbers scream 2nd round sleeper.
14 MPG / 8.1 PPG / 3.2 RPG / 1.0 APG
Shooting splits: 70/40/81.
Doncic/McConnell
Green/Hardy
Bullock/Whitehead
Hendricks/Kleber
Theis/Vukcevic
You come out of the draft with an established young core already. Now you have free agency to use/re-sign Kyrie Irving, use the MLE and use Bertans&McGee plus the 2027 pick to make another trade upgrade.
I´m not a huge fan of trading down in this draft.
