Excited about going to my first Mavs game in a couple of years tomorrow vs Minnesota!
AD is NOT getting traded
Darius acuff is the best consistent guard Mavs need him
As a tech fan, Anderson is the real deal! A very smooth and pro-ready game
Im a Tech grad so I'm biased. CA would be a fun pick up. Hes a badass shooter and extremely good in the PnR.
Flemings > Philon > Mikel > Wagler (you convinced me) > Acuff > Anderson
They better keep losing if we even want a chance at those guys
Isaac, how in the Mavs world did you gi go through this entire video without mentioning Neoklis avdalas. I was really looking forward to hearing your take on him.
You even said that positional size is important to you 🤦♂️
Let’s just get #1 again with 1.8%
Not a fan of small guards, so for that reason I'm out on Christian Anderson. Give me the 6'6" guy that shoots over 40% from 3
I luv Keaton Waglers game.. kind of reminds me of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander! But give me this guy. He can learn behind Kyrie and or play the shooting guard also.. then if we can somehow get a trade that can land us back in the 1st round and try and land Chris Cenac Jr. to where we can allow him to develop and take over for AD later on down the line.. leave Coop at SF.. then you will have Wagler PG Christie SG Cooper SF Cenac PF Lively C that would be your future starting 5.. while Kyrie and AD allow those kids to develop..
Mavs already have nembhard. No more short guys! All in on WAGLER. Taller and younger than most other guards!!
Wasted video. Mavs are jumping into the top 4 again. No way the league doesn't shift the ping pong balls for us favorably again with a prospect as hyped as Flagg. San Antonio jumped twice undeservedly after getting Wemby, and this is the last chance for the Mavs to jump for years unless they're a disaster next season (top 2 protected).
i love these videos and after the 46 point game i’m PRAYING that Dallas gets Wagler
Give ke dash Daniels
id draft a big man if i was gm. we can trade AD for a solid guard and picks and replace AD in the draft
Wagler or flemings as our future pg would be nice with max, coop, and lively 🙏 hopefully.
If we get the fourth pick, we'll select CW. Therefore, we need to trade for a late first-round pick to select Brayden Burries or Christian Anderson.
Look up my guy Nate Ament at Tennessee if we land a pick in the early teens via trade.
Got to have a leader who is a finisher. Preferably he will be 6,4 and can guard someone other than orange cones
The Mavs are going to need big men. AD will never be fully healthy. Gafford will probably be traded. Lively is a big question mark right now. Cisse is good, but there is no guarantee he will stay with Dallas and not be picked up by someone else. Honestly, Dallas needs a lot of help.
Wagler …6’6 shooter can pass at worst he 18 yr max Christie
I like Kingston and Anderson. Waiting for the combine. I also like Acuff but he might be too small. My comp for Philon is DLO,. My comp for Keaton is Lamelo. It's those guys' ceiling in my opinion. I also think Mikel is below all of these guys, feel for the game is good but it seems unlikely he will hit his best case scenario.
If we do get a top 10 pick or guard depth will be a position of strength. Kyrie back, Nembhard in his second season, and a top 10 rookie. We’ll be back in playoff contention by next year.
Acuff is the most talented guard in the draft after Flemings. I know people don’t like the shorter guards but if we end up at like 9 or 10, he’d be the most talented guard left
Acuff gives me Allen Iverson, Steve Francis vibes
Might not even keep their pick.
The only elite is Peterson, he's like a 6'6 Kyrie. Boozer is basically young Kevin Love that can't shoot the 3, way overrated.
Acuff Jr is going before Flemings. Just wait and see
