The Mavs, for the first time in a long time, have two big time players that are under 25. Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis are the future but we need to add complimentary pieces around them. While there is a ton of talk online about 30 year olds that might come in and help the Mavs compete, I’m way more interested in the young guys we can bring in who can grow with the big 2. The types of players we need fall into two camps.

Bib’s NBA Draft Big Board 2019
I have spent countless hours watching games this year. From the games I was able to watch live on television to the games I had to watch off of youtube. From the NCAA tournament to the players literally playing in high school gyms. From America, to Brazil, to Lithuania, Australia, Israel, Spain and anywhere else that basketballs bounce and are filmed. I’ve been able to watch enough to confidently speak on over 110 of this year’s prospects and that will start with this big board.
Mavs Signing: Ryan Broekhoff Profile
Nicola Brussino, Salah Mejri, Maxi Kleber. The Mavs continue their run of signing mysterious foreign players with the addition of Aussie Ryan Broekhoff.

After watching full games for over 100 draft prospects, I’m finally ready to reveal my top 50. This is based on where I expect guys to be in 5 years. Let the debate begin!
NBA Draft 2018: Michael Porter, Jr. Profile
Michael Porter, Jr. was once considered the best player in his class. His back issues have some worried about long-term risks. However, if healthy he reminds me of a certain player when he was 19.
NBA Draft 2018: Mo Bamba Profile
Mo Bamba… Most analysts think that he has the highest ceiling of any big man in the draft. However, many fear he will be a bust. I agree with the former, and completely disagree with the latter.
NBA Draft 2018: Jaren Jackson, Jr. Profile
On first blush Jaren Jackson will remind you of Serge Ibaka. At his worst he’s a shot-blocking stretch-big, at his best he can be much more.
NBA Draft 2018: Marvin Bagley Profile
Marvin Bagley is a freak athlete who pops off the screen when you watch him. He’s incredibly raw but still averaged 21 points and 11 rebounds per game at Duke, when he should have still been in high school.
