I would be interested to know if the Mavs are working out any guys. I know it is tough to get people to come in without any picks, but I would be interested if they have any more interest in the draft than the previous regime.
I was thinking about the forgotten Baylor player, MaCio Teague, who had a good year despite being a guy who is not on many top 100 lists. I am not sure if he is a pro prospect but can create off the dribble and shot the ball pretty well despite an odd release. I wanted to see if he was in the draft. Well, there was an article how he and another potential undrafted guy from OU recently worked out with the Spurs. I wonder if the Mavs have two cents interest anything draft related right now? https://www.poundingtherock.com/2021/6/2...cio-teague

The reports were there was a top 5 in this draft and than a little dip. Some would have said top 4 and then Kuminga and then another drop.
Hollinger put his top 20 out a week ago. He has Scottie Barnes from FSU at # 3 and the foreign kid Alpereen at #4. Interesting. Both look good in highlights. Barnes stats were not great but FSU has had a good track record recently with pros. He looks really good if he can develop a more consistent shot. It may take some time though. Alpereen supposedly plays in a good league overseas and his highlights are him just dunking over everyone. Supposedly defense will be the area he needs to improve on. If he is only 6'9 he may be a little between positions, but he looks good as well.

@"Chicagojk" can you make a draft board at some point? You seem to be putting in the research and I would love to see one.

With the Mavs not having a pick it is tough to get motivated with the top prospects. Plus, I didn't watch much college basketball this year beside the tournament. I will try to highlight 2-3 mid round first guys who I think are underrated. Then I will pick out 3-4 early to mid second rounders who I would target if I was the Mavs and bought a pick. Then I will pick out another 3-4 who are late second to undrafted guys who I would target. I have found several of these guys I am intrigued with already. One guy I have really liked is Raiquuan Gray from Florida State. He is build like a college linebacker. He is not a good shooter but he is an ideal guy to put on your G league team and see if that can develop some. He is PJ Tucker without the jumpshot but much better playmaking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M1Sj_5M8Ls&t=454s

Between his contributions and the excellent work we get every year from Kamm and others, I think we will be well informed about the upcoming draft if we simply keep up with this thread.

The Mavs need to BE PREPARED for the 2021 draft just as much as any other draft.

Interesting name to throw around Santi Aldama from Spain. Him and Garuba (projected 17th in this draft) led Spain to the U18 European Championship. Aldama won tournament MVP (over Garuba/Sengun) and is/was a high-level prospect/recruit, but chose to go to a smaller college in Loyola, where he averaged 21/10 with two blocks last year. He´s still in this draft class and currently projected to go undrafted.
History of the U18 tournament MVP is pretty good. Names on the honour roll include... Parker, Batum, Valanciunas, Kanter, Saric, Koufos, Rodriguez, Motiejunas, Lorbek, Abrines, Ntilikina. That´s 11 out of 19 MVPs of that tournament. He hasn´t hired an agent, but that´s the kind of player, you buy a 2nd round pick for and make a promise. If he was playing for Real Madrid or Barcelona, he´d definitely be projected as a 2nd round pick. He´s just off the beaten scouting path going from a small Spanish club to a small college.

Interesting name I saw someone else mention. Ibou Dianko Badji. 18 years old from Senegal who will not turn 19 until October. &'1 with a huge wingspan. Plays on the Barcelona B team. I see him in the 50-60's in some mocks. He is extremely raw, but I am surprised he is not a late first round candidate with his upside just off these videos. May decide to pull out of draft, but he is a an ideal gamble of a draft and stash and forget about for a few years.
