Mavericks Draft

So instead of working on my Bible Study last night, I listened to the NBA draft. The Mavs did exactly what I expected: take a seasoned big guard who has a chance to actually play defense. Maurice Ager is a 6-6 guard from Michigan State. Everyone I've read has said that this was really good pick, even a steal. In fact, somebody said that he would be a Kobe-, Dewayne-, Manu-stopper.

Whoa. Hold on a second. Let's let the guy get signed, play in the summer league, ride the bench for a year or so before we go crazy about this. I trust the braintrust (Little Whistle, AJ, etc). I mean they picked up Josh Howard in a similar circumstance. Late 1st, experienced college guy, athletic, etc. I think they were looking for parts the puzzle. Good draft I say. Whoppee!
