The Dallas Mavericks have a 31-12 (.721) regular season record all-time when P.J. Washington plays.
This season, the Mavericks are 10-4 (.714) when he plays compared to 1-4 (.200) without him.
I think Scott was so on point when he brought up PJ's absence as a primary reason why the Mavs looked so terrible. Makes me think if I was Nico, I'd be doing everything I can to get a proper PJ backup that can do the things he can do just in case. Is OMax that? Can Maxi still do that? Seems to be our biggest weakness there.
I've been sounding this alarm since the offseason began. Naji is more of a SF/PF than a PF. We need a switching defensive PF/C who can also stretch the D. Maxi simply can't be counted on. I still don't see OMax as an NBA rotation player. I hope I'm wrong. OMax emerging to replace Maxi would be incredible, but I doubt it.
Possible Candidates:
Tari Eason
Naz Reid
Dean Wade
Zach Collins
Al Horford
M.Wagner
Thoughts?
