What is going on with the Mavs?

[RDB]

Thanks for the work!


The ones that really stand out to me are Maxi (almost all threes, no shots in the paint), and DFS (69% threes). (Hardaway plays like a guard, even if he is nominally a SF, so I don't include his 59% threes as an aberration.)

Any conclusion as to whether this is a directed strategy, a result of opposing defenses, or just random?

I would also add that even though Brunson drives a lot of people crazy on this board, I think he is doing exactly what Rick wants him to do which is be the Luka of the second unit.  Look at the similarities between his numbers and Luka’s.
