  1. This is such a great pick for the Mavs they've been needing that paint protector for AGES and now finally have one. Excited for what Nico finna do in FA

  2. excited to see this guy! hope this really works out for us since we play the spurs all the time. we need tyson chandler type centers more than ever now

  3. The kid gets an A+ for talking to the media, WOW. Anyone remember J. Kidd's first interview after we drafted him? He could barely talk, this Lively kid is already preparing for his play by play career. It probably doesn't portend anything about how well he's going to play but I'm excited.

  4. I hope Christian Wood comes back because he would fill the starting lineup perfectly.

    starters:
    Luka Doncic PG
    Kyrie Irving SG
    Olivier-Maxence Prosper SF
    Christian Wood PF
    Dereck Lively II C

    rotation:
    Jaden Hardy PG/Frank Ntilikina PG
    Josh Green SG/Tim Hardaway Jr. SG
    Reggie Bullock SF
    Maxi Kleber PF/Markieff Morris PF/Richaun Holmes PF
    JaVale McGee C/Dwight Powell C

  5. A+++++ and oh poor Dirk….you know he was sitting watching this draft and thinking to himself, maybe even out loud…WHERE WAS NICO DURING MY PLAYING DAYS??????????? Could possibly be one of the top 5 best Mavs drafts ever if everything pans out like we all hope it should.

  6. This was an absolute W draft for us can’t wait to see what the future holds for the team hopefully we can keep kyrie 🤞

  7. The thing that stood out to me from this interview is his basketball knowledge as well, great pick for the Mavs.

  8. Absolutely amazing to hear this kid's IQ talking to the media and his rationality right after the biggest life-changing event he's ever going to experience.

  9. Nico's killed it since he's been here. Shame it took soo long for the organization to employ someone competent.
