In theory, if the Mavs keep Wood, this roster is going to be something else on the offensive end. My holy grail for a great scorer is a player who can manage a 60% true shooting percentage on about 30% usage. High use and high efficiency. Can’t beat it. Luka can do that at 38% usage and Kyrie at 30%. And then Wood as your number three this season is at 64% TS% with pretty high 26% usage. That’s a lot of high efficiency, high volume scoring between those three. And Green, our new defensive stopper, is certainly a low volume player, but when he does shoot, it’s a 67% TS% this season. And, while I don’t think Powell should be the fifth guy, some folks say he and his 74% TS% will be. I don’t know of any team in the NBA that can roll out that combination of highly efficient players in a plausible lineup. The defense will be an issue, but this should be a fun team to watch. I just hope the coaches are up to figuring out how to win with a greatest show on the hardwood approach.
