If top 9 go like this for draft day, who do you pick? Carson Wallace, Derek Lively, or who?

    Lively. We need youth, rebounding, and defense and he can provide all 3. Use the 27 1st and contracts to try to get some wing depth.

  2. UberAlec

    Cason or Gradey. Draft BPA; don’t reach for Lively who has minimal offensive game on every level.

    Lively, hands down. You can’t teach size. .

  4. GoTimeShowtime

    Wallace is a can’t miss prospect to me. Lively is nice but Wallace will be a guy we look back on like Bane/Maxey IMO

    Why do we keep doing this? If we pick at 10 and don’t use it to get a win now asset we have failed.

    Everyone says trade the pick, but if you look closely at the CBA terms we should definitely be drafting a player.

    It’s better to draft the best prospect and not what you need the most. If the prospect doesn’t fit, trade back.

    Why are all the Dick comments getting downvoted so hard? I’m not saying y’all should take him, I’m just genuinely curious

  9. Trade down

    For Leonard Miller and Jordan Walsh/ or someone else

  10. thinking_better

    My hope is that someone sneaks into that Top 9 and one of those players falls to us

    Looks like lively is rising up the boards from his pro day workout where he showed a nice three point shot. I’d prefer hendricks or walker but given that lively started out the season at duke with some injuries and seeing his maturity+how he’s improved his game makes me pretty happy with him at #10

  12. Lively if we have to make that choice. Preferably just need one of the forwards to drop. Which does happen all the time.

    Trade back and try to get a vet on the wing and a pick in the teens.

    I’d be satisfied with: Dereck Lively, Leonard Miller, Kobe Bufkin, or Noah Clowney. Bilal Coulibaly is very tempting but I don’t think the Mavs have the time to wait on him, he’s 2-3 years away from contributing.

  14. Whomever the team the pick gets traded to wants.

  15. Cason has the potential to be a game-breaking guard defender. He’s amongst the best defenders in this draft if not #1. This team desperately needs defense & toughness.

    I actually like Gradey Dick a lot, but I think Cason is the better pick if the board falls like this.

    Also for all the people demanding to trade the pick: Yall know another team has to WANT the pick right? It’s not 2K, we can’t just decide to trade it. Also a team has to give us back a piece good enough for Dallas to be deem it worth paying this mystery player over just taking the young, cheap talent. Especially with the new CBA rule hitting soon. We shouldn’t just be rushing to add salary for the hell of it.

    If it goes like this I’m trading back. I’m not wasting a pick on Grady Dick

    The more I look at Hendricks the more he looks like the perfect fit.

    Lively and it’s not close. He is exactly what they need
