The Dallas Mavericks could face a changing of the guard in the near future. Franchise icon and future first-ballot Hall of Famer Dirk Nowitzki turned 40 this summer and could retire after any season. It will be nearly impossible for the Mavs organization to replace everything Dirk brings to them.
Dallas believes they drafted his heir apparent this offseason in Luka Doncic. Doncic is a 6’8 wing who can do it all on the court. He can shoot, pass, be a playmaker, run a pick-and-roll, and so much more. Doncic figures to be the type of player that others desire to have on their team.
