The Mavericks own the 18th pick in the first round of the NBA draft on Wednesday. They also have the first pick of the second round, 31st overall.
They have a young, rising roster that will continue to be built around Luka Donu010diu0107 and Kristaps Porzingis, who will play at some point this season after knee surgery last month.
Whether or not they keep their draft picks – reports are persistent that they are willing to move those assets and more for immediate help – it’s clear that the Mavericks will be a team of interest throughout the NBA during the draft on Wednesday and when free agency begins on Friday.
