Luka Doncic

Rostering Luka Doncic is generally a safe route to producing a dynamic offense. Imagine what the Dallas Mavericks could accomplish if they found him a partner like ZachLaVine?

Granted, the team slipped on the offensive end under new coach Jason Kidd. Their 113.82 offensive rating landed them just 15th. They compensated by taking a step forward on the defensive end, making them roughly as dangerous a team as they were last season.

Adding LaVine to the fold would surely change that calculus. He’s not a renowned defender, although he has made strides on that end. In the meantime, pairing him with Doncic in the backcourt ought to make for one of the league’s most explosive offensive attacks.

They’re a natural pairing. Doncic is not one of the league’s most explosive athletes: he does his damage with craftiness, skill, and IQ. LaVine, by way of contrast, jumps out of the gym.

Together, they’d make for arguably the most well-rounded offensive backcourt in the league. It’s easy to picture Luka finding LaVine on a look-ahead pass on the fast break for one of his signature slams.

It’s just not fun to picture for the 29 other teams in the league.
