Jayson Tatum

“A 6’8″, 204 lb. wingman who can be a force. Team him up with Noel, Barnes, Wes and Holiday along with Dirk and that’s not too bad of a combination. Really would be a reach for the Mavs to get him, but it would be lovely to see the Mavs become a high flying, rim defending team.” –Aaron Reed

“You said dream right? Well I would love to see the Mavs draft Jayson Tatum. Duke allegiance aside, I feel Tatum can create quite an impressive tandem with Harrison Barnes. His size, affinity for driving to the lane and shooting ability would cause defenders to have to pick their poison.” –Emmanuel Dixon
