      a steal ??? another bench player to the SF position? because DJJ is gone and he is the only one at that spot..so MAVS will have a 7 PPG player who shoots 38% from 3 and 44% on open shoots thats not enough for a team that wants to win a TITTLE...

      HE will get higher FG% due to the fact that he is going to play with LUKA who is NBA player who creates more open shoots to his teammates ( 5 more than Haliburton) but that doesnt mean they are good.
      LOOK at the game were KYRIE and LUKA didnt play against OKC during regular season.

      ​@@phuture9830shot 39% from 3 last year. Lobs don't win shit in the NBA. He will probably average 40% percent or better with Dallas. He can create more offensively than DJJ and most importantly he's not built like a twig he's actually very strong. I've seen his defense he's way more aggressive than DJJ. 55 got bullied by Bostons guards. If they couldn't get past him they would just move him out of the way because he lacks size.

To add what you already said he also can't finish at the rim whatsoever he does this random acrobatic layups and dunks but he can't do any of it consistently him and PJ both have issues making they're layups 😅 everyone's like DJJ is so good on defense blah blah blah. He's good obviously but against Boston he got punked man he literally got pushed out of the way. If you gotta beat Boston you need STRONG DEFENDERS that actually lift weights 😂 like you said Naji can create and finish. He shot almost 40% from 3 last season. He plays damn good defense and will put up better numbers than DJJ. I love DJJ but man he's gonna struggle at the clippers when he realizes it different than he's used to.

      It was DJJ's fault he switched agents from Aaron Turner to Rich Paul this causes friction with The Mavs as they have to wait along with other teams 15 days (which will be July 11) to get signed. He can't officially make an agreement till then and The Mavs weren't willing to wait so they signed Marshall who I think has more upside!
