It is without question that the Dallas Mavericks head into next season with one of the top frontcourts in the entire NBA. Rookie Cooper Flagg joins an elite big man group centered around Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II, P.J. Washington, and Daniel Gafford. Lively II and Gafford create a two-headed monster down low, as the team signed Gafford to an extension this past offseason.
Gafford and Lively II give the Mavs stability at the center position, something they hadn't had before they traded for Gafford in 2024. If you recall, Dallas struggled to find consistency at the five spot, as they went through various players before drafting Lively II.
