This week’s Dallas Mavericks centeric poll centered around the NCAA Men’s Final Four. Yes there’s still plenty of NBA basketball on (and perhaps you could and should go make a wager on NBA Rookie of the Year, now that Cooper Flagg has potentially recaptured momentum), but I think most of our fans are thinking ahead to the NBA Draft lottery and the draft itself.
Which means you’re considering prospects. And if the lottery goes chalk, there are a lot of guys playing this weekend that Dallas might consider. The first question asked about guards and who you were going to follow on Saturday and/or Monday.
This is within line of what I expected Keaton Wagler is a late riser and some that’s easy to get excited about when you watch his game. Brayden Burries is probably a safer pick given his skillset, but hes very exciting. I assume we have some UConn fans taking the poll as Braylon Mullens doesn’t do it for me.

The next question was about Final Four Big men. There were others I could’ve chosen, but these three seeemed to be the most well known.
I have to hope Mavs fans are watching Yaxel Lendeborg because he’s on a good team. I would be very upset if Dallas drafted a guy that’s four years and two months older than Cooper Flagg. Koa Peat is an interesting player, I’m not sure what he’s good at. Krivas is a wishlist guy for me, with that second first-round pick or a trade-up.
Then we get to these questions from the national poll, which you can also sign up for.
The first poll centered around the East’s Play-In teams. It seems that fans do not believe in any of them. A reasonable take.
This second question was asked before Luka Doncic got hurt. I think it’s too low. The awards are going to end up with weird ballots that don’t tell the story of the year. It’s silly.
This one’s also weird. Not sure why 6 in 10 fans think the NBA can incentivze differently than what’s already been done. Teams that want to lose will find a way to do so.
