The Dallas Mavericks are deep into Dusty May’s early-season experiments, from small ball lineups built around Cooper Flagg to a zone defense the Mavs run more than any other team in the NBA. How are Kyrie Irving, Cooper Flagg, and the Dallas Mavericks rotation taking shape as new lineups, guard combinations, and defensive looks get tested?
Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit) breaks down every experiment Dusty May has run so far, including small ball lineups with PJ Washington, Naji Marshall, Zaccharie Risacher, and Max Christie without Daniel Gafford on the floor. Nick also looks at the rotating backup guard spot between Marcus Sasser, Sergio De Larrea, and Walter Clayton Jr., plus what the early zone defense numbers say. What happens when Santi Aldama, Dereck Lively II, and Caleb Martin get added to the mix?
