Harris: I personally think Dallas will win enough games to land a pick somewhere between 5-9, who should they target?

Stone: “If the belief is that Dallas will need a point guard, then there will be plenty of options available in this range. This draft class is loaded with point guards throughout the lottery and any of the above would presumably help the Mavericks. Picking in this range is always heavily dependent on what everyone above you does, though, so that will shape the specific names. And who knows. A prospect always slips, maybe someone like Jayson Tatum falls into Dallas’ lap if there at the top end of the five through nine range.”
