Top NBA draft prospects, No. 2: Why Marvin Bagley III could be a star big man for Mavs sooner rather than later

The May 15 draft lottery will be here before you know it.

The Mavericks can pick anywhere from first to sixth, depending on how friendly the lottery gods are to them. Leading up to the lottery, we take a close look at the top 10 prospects, counting down from No. 10 to No. 1.

No. 2

Marvin Bagley III, Duke, freshman
6-11, 235, age 19, PF

Why he's this high: He's already regarded as a premier offensive threat from the post, the mid-range and with the potential to be a good pick-and-pop 3-point shooter.
