Nonetheless, Doncic is still exhausted from his busy schedule. According to Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd, Doncic will get some well-deserved rest to start the season.
At media day, Doncic shared his thoughts on representing his home country in international competitions.
Doncic averaged 35.4 minutes per game last season, which was the ninth-most in the league. Considering the Mavericks’ offense relies so heavily on Doncic, it will be interesting to see how Kidd manages his workload.
Do the Dallas Mavericks have the pieces required to win an NBA title?
The Dallas Mavericks had a productive offseason following their loss to the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference finals. They improved their frontcourt with the additions of big men Christian Wood and JaVale McGee. Both players should be great fits playing alongside Doncic in the pick-and-roll. McGee will also be able to provide some much-needed rim protection.
However, the Mavericks took a big hit to their backcourt, losing their secondary scorer Jalen Brunson in free agency. Brunson broke out in the playoffs, averaging 21.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game on 46.6% shooting.
Other players will have to replace his production. The most likely candidates to do so are guards Spencer Dinwiddie and Tim Hardaway Jr.
During a recent interview with Malika Andrews on “NBA Today,” Doncic gave his opinion on the Dallas Mavericks’ new-look roster.
The Mavericks have some underrated role players. Their players also fit well around Doncic. However, it takes multiple stars to win championships. Doncic will again have to put the Dallas Mavericks on his back if the team hopes to contend in 2022-23.
