Optimist’s sunshine take:
Mavs show all kinds of promise this season. Brunson and Kleeber continuing to improve and turning into legit players. DFS looks like he can shoot the 3 consistently enough to be a real 3&D guy. Luka’s 3 balls are hitting at a 4% better clip than last season. Trey and THJ are just killing it from deep. Even Dwight, who has struggled, looks like he’s ahead of schedule for a full recovery from that dreaded achilles injury (although he also looks like he should permanently quit attempting 3 pointers).
The only setback is KP’s current inability to return to pre-surgery form. That problem, which is taking ALL of this board’s space currently, may fix itself. Or it may not. But there’s a lot to feel good about re this year’s Mavs.
