2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

There is actually a lot of symmetry between the Blazers and Mavs when you look at the two teams. Stotts has been there a long time, former Rick assistant.

Roster:

• Damien / Luka - comparable MVP guards with ice in their veins.
  
• McCollum / Brunson could slide into that second scorer creator role. Already is doing that in the 4th quarter many nights and allowing Luka to do more off-ball movement.
  
• Powell / THJ - Powell is a better scorer but also has been inconsistent. I like the Mavs going with defense in Maxi and bringing THJ of the bench
  
• RoCo / DFS - Similar roles, RoCo does it better and is shooting better but DFS does a lot of good things for the Mavs. I think DFS is an important glue guy.
  
• Nurkic / KP - Games are a little bit different. Both guys are injury prone. I think KP is a much better all-around player.
  

Brunson is having an amazing year and making a case to be more involved. With more minutes he could at least be a 15/4 guy, maybe up to 18/4 or somewhere in between at pretty decent efficiency.
