<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Donnie Nelson will lead a large Mavericks delegation to Chicago for the NBA's annual predraft camp, which begins today. And although there will be a lot of effort put into sorting out the army of talent, it may be little more than busy work for the Mavericks. "I sort of feel like I'm studying for a test I'll never take," Nelson said Monday. That's because the Mavericks do not have a draft pick. Their first-round choice belongs to Utah for acquiring Pavel Podkolzin last year. Their second-round pick was dealt away in the Darrell Armstrong trade. Just because the Mavericks have no picks doesn't mean they can't accomplish things in Chicago. In 2003, a young swingman by the name of Marquis Daniels caught their eye there, and he ended up being a steal as an undrafted free agent later in the summer. However, the Mavericks believe they have a chance to win a championship in the next few seasons. Getting young projects runs counter to that thought process. </div> Source
