The 2026 NBA Draft is just two weeks away, and the Dallas Mavericks are at the center of a lot of trade rumors. One of the players being linked to the team is Arizona guard Brayden Burries. Burries is a well-rounded player who defends and rebounds better than your average two-guard, and he's a really good three-point shooter. He's being considered as a potential pick for the Mavericks with the No. 9 overall selection. If Burries is the pick, he would likely play alongside Cooper Flagg, who would have to stay in more of a shot-creator role. Burries' lack of a glaring weakness makes him a malleable guard who should be able to hang in the playoffs. The Mavericks are also considering other players, including Isaiah Evans, who is a three-point shooting specialist. Evans played with Flagg last season at Duke and has a good understanding of what the NBA's Rookie of the Year requires around him. The Mavericks are looking to add more players who can provide floor spacing and shooting, and Evans would be a good fit. The team is also exploring other options, including trading the No. 9 pick and selecting a different player. The new brain trust led by Masai Ujiri and Mike Schmitz will likely appreciate the speculation surrounding the team. The Mavericks are another team that has engendered a lot of enthusiasm among sources, with many teams wanting to try to win next season. Burries is seen as a tough guard who can dribble, pass, and shoot, and will also defend at a high level with physicality. The Mavericks need to continue accumulating players in that archetype around Cooper Flagg. The team is looking to add more players who can provide floor spacing and shooting, and Burries would be a good fit. The Mavericks are also considering other players, including Henri Veesaar, who is a play-finisher who also hit 40 three-pointers. Veesaar became one of the draft's top play-finishers who also hit 40 three-pointers. The Mavericks are looking to add more players who can provide floor spacing and shooting, and Veesaar would be a good fit. The team is also exploring other options, including trading the No. 9 pick and selecting a different player. The new brain trust led by Masai Ujiri and Mike Schmitz will likely appreciate the speculation surrounding the team.
