The Dallas Mavericks own the 10th pick in 2023 NBA Draft. What’s the history of the pick?

The Dallas Mavericks own the 10th selection in the 2023 NBA Draft and they have to decide if they want to retain the selection and who they should draft if they do.

If the Mavs do select the pick what caliber of player can they reasonably expect with the 10th pick? Looking at the last 15 No. 10 picks in the NBA Draft offers a mixed bag on what the Mavs can expect.

Here are the last 15 players selected at No. 10.

Wizards: G Johnny Davis

Grizzlies: F Ziaire Williams

Suns: PF Jalen Smith

Hawks: SF Cam Reddish

76ers: SF Mikal Bridges

Kings: PF Zach Collins

Bucks: C Thon Maker

Heat: SF Justise Winslow

76ers: G Elfrid Payton

Trail Blazers: G CJ McCollum

Hornets: G Austin Rivers

Bucks: SG Jimmer Fredette

Pacers SF Paul George

Bucks: G Brandon Jennings

Nets: C Brook Lopez

Out of these 15 players only one (Paul George) has been awarded an All-NBA selection and only two (George and Brook Lopez) have been selected as all-stars.

Some of these players such as Jimmer Fredette, Thon Maker and Elfrid Payton weren’t able to have lasting NBA careers.

Others were good but not great players over their careers like Austin Rivers, Brandon Jennings and CJ McCollum.

Based on the last 15 selections the Mavs should expect a good role player to be available with the 10th pick.
