The May 15 draft lottery will be here before you know it.
The Mavericks can pick anywhere from first to sixth, depending on how friendly the lottery gods are to them. Leading up to the lottery, we take a close look at the top 10 prospects, counting down from No. 10 to No. 1.
No. 1
Deandre Ayton, Arizona, freshman
7-0, 260, age 19, C
Why he's No. 1: He's got the most unique combination of size, strength, quickness and instincts in this draft class. Pure and simple, he's the closest thing to can't-miss talent to come out of college since, perhaps, Karl-Anthony Towns in 2015.
