2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Mavsfan12]

I also found it interesting that PJ has very similar blocks per game and block % as Maxi for their careers. I don’t consider Maxi a “rim protecter” in the tradition sense but would take another Maxi…

6’7” PJ: 1.0 BLK / 3.3 BLK%
6’10” Maxi: 0.9 BLK / 3.6 BLK%

Ok, now that I am interested in this topic it got me to look into it deeper.  No telling who would be available in this list, but here are some players that I would consider as possible guys to check both boxes and could be either PF or C:

Robert Williams
JJJ
Evan Mobley
Daniel Gafford (-)
RoCo
Isiaiah Stewart
Darius Bazley (-)
Maxi
John Collins
Thybulle
Brandon Clarke
Naz Reid
LeBron
Chris Boucher
Christian Wood (-)
PJ (-)

Let me know if you think I missed some.  These are basically guys who have 1+ bpg and I wouldn't feel too bad if they were switched out to the perimeter. Mobile guys. But it is a pretty short list of players in the league. I went ahead and threw PJ on there for you. Most of these guys could play C for the Mavs, with a few PF's.  Also, there is Issac out in ORL who would be great, if he can stay healthy.  This doesn't mean that they are plus defenders when they get switched out, but they seem to qualify from a glance.  So I ran them through RAPTOR and the ones who are negative are marked (-).
