Earl K. Sneed - Mavs.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A return to the First Round of the NBA Draft could mean a lot for the Dallas Mavericks. It is certain that the Mavs head into Thursday’s pre-draft combine in Chicago with their eyes on a Day One contributor. Dallas hasn’t selected in the first round since taking Maurice Ager with the 28th pick in the 2006 draft. Three years before that the Mavs claimed Josh Howard with 29th pick. Now Dallas tries to add a piece to a squad that lost in the Western Conference Semifinals, but which hole in the Mavs’ lineup will Dallas seek to fill with the No. 22 overall pick? “Anything we can do to improve the team, to improve the elements to enhance our entire situation, we’re going to do it,” Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said earlier this month in regard to both addressing needs in the draft and free agency. With point guard Jason Kidd becoming an unrestricted free agent this summer, the Mavs could add depth to the point guard position in the draft. The team has already worked out Darren Collison (UCLA), Patrick Mills (St. Mary’s College), French point guard Rodrigue Beaubois and fellow lead guard Curtis Jerrells (Baylor). The 6-foot-1, 165-pound Collison has long been regarded as one of the best defensive guards in the country, while Mills (6-0, 175 pounds) was one of the best scorers in the nation last season. At 6-2 and 182 pounds, Beaubois has played three seasons in the French League and his abilities have been compared to his countryman Tony Parker’s skills on the offensive end. “There are certain things that everybody is looking for – strength, athleticism, length, shooting ability, the ability to drive the ball. We’re going to be looking for all those elements that would enhance our core group, ” Carlisle said. According to DraftExpress.com, the Mavs could also add a big man to the equation. It could be a highly-skilled big man, at that. The site known for its breakdown of the draft has the Mavs taking three-time All-American forward Tyler Hansbrough from North Carolina. While at Chapel Hill, Hansbrough became the Atlantic Coast Conference’s all-time leading scorer. Last week the team brought in two other big men to work out, when Texas A&M’ s Chinemelu Elonu and Serbian forward Vladimir Dasic tried to impress Dallas’ scouts. For now, prospective players will be judged on their health and interview skills, as members of the Mavs’ front office and scouting department gather in Chicago today and tomorrow to conduct interviews and medical exams with potential draftees. 目前试训了3个小後卫..还有两只大只佬..不过我都不认识= = 有认识的板友可以补一下介绍 &目前预测到北卡大将Tyler Hansbrough 是落在小牛这个顺位的 --
