DALLAS — He was the fifth overall selection by Washington in the 2004 NBA Draft before being dealt to Dallas and spending his first four seasons with the Mavericks, returning for a second stint with the team prior to the ’13-14 campaign.
Now, with this year’s draft just a week away, 13-year veteran Devin Harris says it’s essential that the Mavs select a building block for the future in order to keep pace with the NBA champion Golden State Warriors and the league’s upper echelon teams in the coming seasons.
Prior to signing NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant last summer in free agency, the Warriors built the core of their team through the draft.
