The #1 skill the Mavs target needs to have is DURABILITY at 35-38 MPG as a primary ballhandler. There ain´t that much between Russell, Schroeder, Brogdon, CP3 or Westbrook skill-wise on a single game basis, but there is a lot between them and JadenHardy/Brandon Williams as primary ballhandlers. The most important is that the person can handle the position physically.
That disqualifies CP3 for age/usage. No way he can be a #1 guy. Brogdon is a major injury risk. Westbrook still has the best health durability, which is scary in itself, but he has not seen a starting role at +30 MPG since 2021/22 season. Russell and Schroeder have legit injury concerns, too. Nevertheless they are easily the best combination of durability factoring in age and expected role. Tyus Jones is a very interesting name. Starting PG on the Flagg Express must be an interesting option.
