2001 dallas mavericks roster1/15/2024 The rest of the draft presented Dallas with two 2nd-round picks at number 44 and 54 overall. Most Mavericks fans have spent many years begging for the organization to take the draft seriously and get some youth on the team, which is exactly what they had done and failed on. That being said, it is hard to fault Dallas for being aggressive the year before. That, along with the fact that the Mavs were far from in need of a shooting guard on the roster, shows that maybe keeping this pick would have been better for the team. Brandon Armstrong was the resulting pick.Īlthough this pick did not turn into anyone exciting-Armstrong played a total of 3 seasons in the NBA before going overseas-there were still great players left on the board. That traded pick equated to the New Jersey Nets getting the 23rd pick from Houston, who received the pick from Orlando with which the Mavericks had traded the year prior. The issue with these trades is that, in return, Dallas had to trade away the first round pick for 2001. After trading for 3 separate 1st round picks in the draft, Dallas came away with 3 disappointing players that did not stay in a Mavericks uniform for long. The year previous to the draft, Dallas showed some crazy aggression that we have never seen before or since the 2000 Draft.
