The Dallas Mavericks 2018-2019 season has just begun. The Mavs have struggled out of the gate, but do not let their record fool you. This is a better Mavericks team than fans have seen the last two years.
Dennis Smith Jr. has improved and will be better in his sophomore season. There will be some bumps in the road for the 20-year-old, but after scoring over 20 points in two of the last three games things are looking up. Smith Jr. has elite athleticism that allows him to get to the rim at will.
