View Full Version : Mark Cuban: Don't expect any Mavs to average 20ppg

"In 16 of the last 17 seasons, the Mavericks have featured a 20-point-per-game scorer. Heck, a couple of those years featured two 20-point-per-game scorers.

Between Dirk Nowitzki and Michael Finley, Dallas has not lacked a clear go-to scorer.

That’s about to change – at least if Mavericks owner Cuban gets his wish.


“I’m not expecting anybody on our team to be a 20-point scorer,” the owner said as the Mavericks introduced six new players at a news conference. “Not Dirk. I don’t want him to be a 20-point scorer. Seriously. Monta (Ellis) has that capability. Chandler (Parsons) has that capability. Dirk has that capability. Richard Jefferson’s got that capability. Jameer (Nelson could score) 15. Raymond (Felton) could do 15, if that was the focus, but that’s not our focus.

“That’s the cool thing. There are going to be times when we overpass. And that will be the challenge.”

Since the 2000-01 season, of the 70 teams with top-five offenses each season – and that’s the type of potential these Mavericks have – 62 have produced a 20-point-per-game scorer:

Cuban copying our system I see. Solid way to be great is to copy greatness. :cheers: He was rooting for us to win it all last year, so I'll allow it.

Interesting thing is that of all the teams listed in the top 5 of offensive rating and went onto win a title that year.... only LAL 3 peat and Miami's 2013 title were able to do so.

Mavericks could be just as deadly as the Spurs if not more depending on Chandler's health.

Carlislie is just as good of a coach as Popovich and that roster is loaded with well rounded and high IQ players.
