When the Mavericks won the No. 1 pick with the fourth lowest probability of 1.8%, the basketball world thought this was just a "consolation prize" on the road to reconstruction, but as the potential lineup surfaced, the Mavericks had quietly formed a "five-star battleship" that was enough to subvert the western pattern after getting the No. 1 pick.

The starting five tigers of Irving, Clay, Flag, Davis and Levley, plus the deep explosive rotation lineup, the Mavericks' terrifying competitiveness next season is very extraordinary.

First of all, the starting five tigers. After getting Flagg, the Mavericks' starting off and defense improved a lot.

Backcourt Irving + Clay. This season, Irving has only played 50 games due to injury, and averaged 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of three events: 47.3%/40.1%/91.6%. His singles ability (1.25 points per round) and big heart attributes give the Mavericks a "nuclear weapon" for the decisive moment.

After a serious injury, although Clay was not as good as his scoring ability and explosive power as he was in the Warriors, he still averaged 3 three-pointers with a shooting rate of 39.1%, and his off-ball running position was still a point that his opponent dared not let go easily.

After getting Flag, the Mavericks' forward line has more players with outstanding offense and defense. Flag's template is Pippen, who averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks per game in college, and shots in three events: 48.1%/37.7%/83%. Lead Duke University to a record 28 wins and 3 losses in the United States.

Double towers of the inside, Anthony Davis + Lefly (Garford), Not to mention Anthony Davis, he is healthy and has a combination of offense and defense. This season, he averaged 24.7 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.2 blocks per game, and his three shooting percentages: 51.6%/28.2%/77.5%.

Lefly, as the No. 12 pick in the first round of 2024, was 2.16 meters tall and 2.26 meters. He averaged 8.7 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game last season, with a defensive efficiency of 106.4, ranking 20th in the league, with a net efficiency of 7.7. The "2-meter 10+" double towers formed by him and Davis have expanded the Mavericks' defense area by 35%.

Except for the 5 starters, 6 players in the other rotation lineups scored in double + 3D forward group. The entire Mavericks lineup, whether it is technical characteristics, age structure, tactical adaptation and instant combat power, is completely full, and the western pattern may change again next season.

I have to say that Harrison is the best general manager of the year.

Of course, all this must be based on the health of the players, otherwise no matter how powerful they are, they will be decorations.
