Why The Dallas Mavericks Do The Deal 

Well, to answer that question, let’s look at who Robinson is. 

By now, he’s one of the best defensive big men in the NBA. Robinson is an elite rim protector, and if he has to defend in space, he can handle that as well. 

On offense, he’s limited. Robinson is mostly a rim runner. He doesn’t have a wide range of post moves, and he’s a non-shooter. 

That’s perfectly fine. All the Mavericks need is a pick-and-roll finisher for their star backcourt.
