Dallas Mavericks

Draft Picks: AJ Hammons No. 46

Not much of an impact in the draft the only pick for the Mavs was the big bodied, center out of Purdue. Hammons can rebound, block shots and clog up the post. What more can you ask for as a back-up NBA center? Not the sexiest of picks, but it does the job.

The Mavericks offseason will be as usual, focused on free agency. Rumors circulating around big names coming to Dallas as well as the futures of Dirk Nowitzki and Chandler Parsons.

Grade: C+

Next: Denver Nuggets
