| 0:00.0 | One more thing. If the Mavs land at 3, it might seem like a real easy choice, but I think it presents pure chaos. Welcome, you're still locked on to the Dallas Mavericks, your team every day. My name is Dick Engstead. Today's episode brought to you by Fanduel. During the tournament, Fanduels offering $300 back in bonus bets every day for 10 days. Head to fanduel.com to get started. It's the one more thing, and I want to talk about if the Maslan at three in the NBA draft lottery, |
| 0:23.9 | the lottery is about... day for 10 days. Head to fanduel.com to get started. It's the one more thing. And I want to talk about if the Maz land at three in the NBA draft lottery, |
| 0:23.9 | lottery is about 37 days away or so, or counting down the days over here. |
| 0:30.0 | And if they land at three, you'd think they just pick one of |
| 0:32.5 | Darren Peterson, A.J. DeBonsa, Cam Boozer. |
| 0:56.8 | But I think there are some wild cards in the mix between Caleb Wilson, maybe even Darius Aikoff. And I think if the Mavs Land at 3, we'll be talking about a bunch of scenarios. So I want to go through one and talk about why Camboosur could be obvious, why Caleb Wilson could be too good to pass up, and why Darius Aikov could have a case to be made, but let's just start here. |
| 0:58.6 | The obvious choice of the Mazzlan at 3, |
| 1:01.5 | and I'm assuming that DeBanza and Peterson are off the board, |
| 1:05.8 | because that creates the biggest chaos scenario for the Dallas Mavericks, |
| 1:08.1 | and maybe just for the fan base in general and for us, |
| 1:12.1 | when we're waiting for this to happen and all that. |
| 1:19.7 | But the Camboozer scenario, if the Matt, if he's left on the board, Isaac has talked all throughout this whole process that he has Caleb Wilson over Camboozer. I know that there |
| 1:23.3 | are other people that have, that have, their doubts about Camboozer, about his ability to play |
| 1:27.1 | in the NBA. Is he just going to be like, you know, a version of Shangoon or Sabonis, |
| 1:31.9 | where those guys have a clear ceiling? The athleticism, is it, is it there for him? There's a lot |
| 1:36.8 | of the, there's a lot of the weaknesses on him. There's a lot of weaknesses on, on Caleb |
| 1:41.0 | Wilson, too. But I'm going to focus on their strengths because I want to focus on |
| 1:44.3 | the things that Cam Booser could bring to the NBA and basically if the Mavs are at three, |
| 1:49.3 | they have Cam Booser and they have Caleb Wilson in front of them. They have a choice. What kind |
| 1:53.8 | of team do you want to build? Because when you're building around Camboozer and Cooper Flagg, |
| 1:58.1 | you are prioritizing playmaking. Cam Booster, an incredible playmaker. |
| 2:03.8 | All this stuff I'm taking from the no ceilings guys, locked on NBA draft with no ceilings. |
