Mavericks must find the next Dirk Nowitzki this draft. But here's why size, shape and form won't matter...

On Tuesday night we find out where the Mavericks pick, whether they get really lucky and go first (13.8 percent chance) or a little lucky and climb into the top three (42.6 percent chance). At worst, they will be slotted to select sixth in the June draft.

After having secured what they believe to be their point guard of the present and future a year ago, will the Mavs find a big man this time around? A center would be nice since I think we can close the books on the "Nerlens Noel Is Our Future" storyline. And I believe the power forward is heading into his 21st professional season, so there will be a major hole to fill there one day soon.
