That´s actually something I noticed in the last couple of games. We always complained about DFS playing PF but the numbers suggest that he is a lot better this season.
Especially next to WCS.
Looking at total +/- over the entire season his top lineup is the starting five (Doncic, Richardson, DFS, Maxi, KP). Followed by four single big lineups.
Brunson/Doncic/THJ/DFS/WCS +54 in 62 minutes
Brunson/JRich/THJ/DFS/KP +44 in 112 minutes
Doncic/JRich/THJ/DFS/WCS +30 in 96 minutes
Burke/Brunson/JRich/DFS/KP +20 in 19 minutes (super small sample size)
In all cases the Mavs have three (somewhat) capable ballhanders on the floor. When DFS plays SF they only have two. Makes a big difference on offense. Just need to find a big that can do it all on defense. Basically an improved version of WCS.
