THE The Dallas Mavericks have a high power attack with Luka Doncic as a conductor. He put up generational numbers, averaging 28.7 points per game over his six-year career.
The 25-year-old forward has yet to win the regular-season MVP or the championship trophy, but both seem likely to come in due time. Someone who has accomplished those things would be a perfect teammate for Doncic, namely Denver Nuggets franchise center Nikola Jokic.
