The Dallas Mavericks are in the NBA Draft Lottery for the first time since 2013. That year they drafted Kelly Olynyk with the 13th overall pick and promptly traded him to the Boston Celtics.
Olynyk has, as of this writing, established himself as a better player than Larry Bird and monuments to him are being erected throughout Boston. Tough luck for the Mavs, right? Maybe they’ll have better luck this time around. With how this year’s draft class is shaping up, that’s a likely outcome.
So, who should Dallas draft?
