5. Dallas Mavericks – Jaren Jackson Jr., C, Michigan State

Jaren Jackson Jr. at No. 5 would be an absolute steal for the Dallas Mavericks. They have tried to add a center during the last couple of offseasons, and will now have the ability to do so via the draft.

JJJ is an interesting prospect that has the best basketball still ahead of him. He hasn’t begun to scratch the surface on the player that he can be at the next level, and that should excite any team that has a chance at selecting him.

The way the top of the draft unraveled, that team happens to be the Mavs here. But don’t be surprised if JJJ is selected in the top 3 or 4 picks. He has that kind of potential.
