With Christmas just around the corner, we explore what each Western Conference team in the NBA could use this holiday season
Yesterday, we looked at what each team in the NBA Eastern Conference needed most when pursuing to take the next step as a franchise. Now, we are giving each team in the Western Conference one Christmas gift that will help them as well.
Dallas Mavericks
Wishlist: Markelle Fultz
The Mavs are dead last in not only the Western Conference, but they have the worst record in the entire NBA. They’re getting older, and as much as it pains me to say it, Dirk is on the home stretch of his Hall of Fame career. Dallas needs to rebuild.
They went out and signed Harrison Barnes who leads the league in minutes played and is a very improved player from last year in Golden State. J.J. Barrea has been a bright spot offensively running the point, but other than HB40, they could use an upgrade everywhere.
Looking at their team stats, they’re last, or close to last, in the NBA in points, assists, and rebounds. So we’re going to focus on giving them offensive help.
The Dallas Mavericks are getting Markelle Fultz for Christmas!
Having the worst record in the league, Dallas needs to keep doing what they are doing and lose. They have a great chance of picking first in the draft and being able to draft the young stud out of Washington. Fultz is a dynamic 6-foot-5 PG who can do it all. He is the number 1 ranked prospect in this year’s draft class and is averaging 23 points, six rebounds and nearly seven assists. This will be a huge step in the right direction to improve the Mavs offensive production.
