9. Dallas Mavericks: Dennis Smith Jr., PG, NC State
Age: 19 (November 25, 1997)
Size: 6-foot3, 195 pounds
The Mavs would probably like to see Frank Ntilikina here, but there's no denying Smith's allure. Once regarded as a consensus Top-5 prospect before a shaky finish to his season, he brings absurd explosiveness and a relentless attacking nature to the point guard position. There are concerns about his mental game, but he's an electric talent who has the potential to transform a stale offense that finished 23rd in offensive rating. (Getty)
