Quote:Dallas Mavericks
[b]Draft picks owned: 18, 31[/b]
[b]Needs: Overall defense, pick-and-roll finisher, secondary shot-creation[/b]
Dallas literally had the most efficient offense in NBA history last season. An athletic finisher to replace the injured Dwight Powell would be nice if Willie Cauley-Stein isn't back, and the Mavericks relied a bit too heavily on Luka Doncic's ball-handling, but the Mavericks don't have much need to fix what clearly isn't broken. The No. 22-ranked defense, however, needs work. Dorian Finney-Smith and Kristaps Porzingis are the only consistently valuable defenders likely to stick around for the long haul, that Maxi Kleber has his moments.
[b]Potential fits:[/b] Precious Achiuwa, Isaiah Stewart, Tyrell Terry
Achiuwa and Stewart are both great options to fill the rim protector/pick-and-roll finisher need, with length, strength, athleticism and motor. If the Mavericks really want to double down on their league-best offense, Terry could end up being a great value pick at 18 as an excellent shooter who can play off the ball or operate as a secondary playmaker to Doncic. - Ward-Henninger
