Draft Notes: Mavericks, Burke, Wizards, Dieng

As we get ready for the 2013 lottery tomorrow night, here's a look at today's draft news..

  • The Mavericks need a whole lot of luck on Tuesday's lottery, writes Dwain Price of the Star-Telegram.  Dallas owner Mark Cuban was the club's representative in the lottery in 2000 but he won't be in attendance this year as he vowed to never go again.  
  • Steve Kyler of HoopsWorld ran down the players who boosted their stock at the Chicago pre-draft combine.  Michigan guard Trey Burke didn't necessarily raise his already high stock, but he did solidify things by measuring in at 6'1.25" in shoes.
  • J. Michael of CSNWashington.com makes the case that the Wizards, currently in line for the No. 8 pick, should give Gorgui Dieng a closer look. The team didn't request an interview with the Louisville center during last week's draft combine.
