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.

CP3 just played 28 minutes a game for 82 games.  Not really sure why you are ruling him out for durability.  Thats more minutes than any option we are looking at.  He was also the most effective of anyone we are looking at and probably the best mentor of the group as well.
