The Dallas Mavericks are going to be a pretty guard heavy team once again. Between Dennis Smith Jr., Luka Doncic, J.J. Barea, Devin Harris and Jalen Brunson, you’ve got five guys that are more than capable of handling point guard duties for the Mavs this upcoming season.
Dennis Smith and Luka Doncic are the likely starters for the Mavs and, because they both can naturally play point guard, will likely switch off on those duties throughout the games. Coming off the bench will likely be Barea at point with Harris as a shooting guard, but that leaves Brunson, a player who was well-liked prior to the 2018 NBA Draft, as the odd man out.
