4. Dallas Mavericks: Marvin Bagley PF Duke

The Mavericks have set their entire team up around Dennis Smith. They want Smith to create for everyone with a heavy usage of isolation and high ball screens for him. With the Mavs spreading the floor with shooters, it could open up the floor for a deadly Bagley and Dennis Smith pick and roll for many years to come.

Marvin Bagley has gained the reputation of  a very fit dependent prospect. Most believe Bagley should be paired with a rim protecting and stretch big man. Even in today’s NBA that is still a rare combination. However, the Mavericks big man situation for next year consists of Dwight Powell and a Dirk Nowitzki team option. The Mavs have a good amount of money to play with in free agency, so they get Bagley now and figure out who to pair with him later.
