The NBA Draft brings fans two nights of excitement every year. It starts with the lottery where all 14 teams that fail to make the postseason have a chance at securing the number one overall pick. Then, draft night comes, and every organization dreams of selecting that franchise-altering star that propels the team into contention for the next decade-plus.
The Dallas Mavericks secured that player last summer. They had to trade up from fifth to third overall to get Luka Doncic, but it was worth it. The soon-to-be Rookie of the Year produced historic numbers and is trending toward superstar status.
