In the 2017 draft, Carlisle wanted the Mavericks to choose Donovan Mitchell over Dennis Smith, "who completely lost interest in smith during his rookie year." ”

Carlisle's handling of Smith eventually led to problems between him and Doncic. During doncic's rookie season, he became friends with Smith, who took Doncic around Dallas, where they lived in the same apartment and often played games together for hours.
