Matt Mosley, contributor to SportsDayDFW.com and columnist for Texas Monthly, answered your questions in a recent live chat. Here are some highlights:

I'm here for a point guard in the NBA draft. Mavs had better come away with one at 9. Make the cases for either Frank Ntilikina or Dennis Smith Jr. Who's better for Dallas?

Mosley: Dennis Smith Jr. has more explosion to his game. As far as a pure scorer, he's probably the better choice. But as far as an all-around point guard, Frank is more polished. He's played at a higher level than Dennis Smith Jr (with apologies to the ACC fans who believe they invented college basketball). I would take Frank because he's more of a sure thing. He's just a much safer pick than Smith Jr.

Of the players projected to go near and around the Mavericks pick at No. 9, who would you be most disappointed to see Dallas draft?

Mosley: Wow, we have to go with the negative slant? For some reason, I'm not wanting them to go with Markkanen. He's a great shooter who may end up having a long, successful career...but he'll never be Dirk. I think being a European player with his size would cause folks to immediately make the comparisons. And that sort of sets him up for failure. Porzingis has a much, much better chance of being like Dirk than Lauri. And I don't think Porzingis will end up close to Dirk.
