The Dallas Roster

The Players to Watch for Dallas
Luka Don�i� 6-7 230 PG
He is a candidate for the All-Star Game this season.
He does not attack the rim as much as he should. There is nothing special regarding his shot selection on the perimeter. In man-to-man defense, playing fairly standard defense against him on the perimeter is advisable. He does not do the things he needs to do to get himself to the Free Throw Line consistently. At the Free Throw Line, he is an above average Free Throw shooter.
One of the best distributors in the NBA, he sets up his teammates like few others. He does not turn it over more or less than anyone. He could be a better offensive rebounder, but he has not put it together yet this season.
Tim Hardaway Jr. 6-5 205 SG
He is an important offensive option on this team this season.
He does not attack the rim as much as he should. There is nothing special regarding his shot selection on the perimeter. In man-to-man defense, playing fairly standard defense against him on the perimeter is advisable. He is a bit more of a jump shot oriented player so he does not get fouled as much. He is a generally average Free Throw Shooter.
He is a below-average distributor, but this may have a lot to do with offensive role.The ball is in safe hands with him and there is a general level of comfort in his stewardship. He could be a better offensive rebounder, but he has not put it together yet this season.
Dorian Finney-Smith 6-7 220 PF
He is a general rotation player on this team. Nothing too special thus far.
He does not attack the rim as much as he should. Three
