But several basketball experts believe the Mavs will not keep the number 10 pick.
"I would say the Mavs probably trade the pick. And you've got to find a way to maximize the pick given what they're trying to do here. A lot of needs that they need to improve. So, whether you keep the pick or you move it. You've got to find a way to maximize it and I think the best way to do that is to trade the pick, maybe move down in the draft and maybe get you some value. Maybe Atlanta wants to play ball with you a little bit and see what you can do to be able to help to shape some of this roster moving forward given the needs that they have," said Kevin Gray, a 105.3 The Fan Mavs insider.
