Barring a brief stretch this offseason where Dallas Mavericks fans thought head coach Jason Kidd may get poached away by the New York Knicks, Kidd has been fully committed to winning in Dallas and developing new No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg. With Kidd having played the point guard position at an elite level over the course of an illustrious career, Mavericks fans have long known that he is great at developing primary initiators, even if they don't necessarily have the most polished ball-handling and playmaking repertoire upon coming into the league
Obviously, Luka Doncic was already practically in his prime once Kidd started coaching him, but it's irrefutable to say Kidd didn't help Doncic polish his skillset a little bit, and many of Dallas' other guards, such as Brandon Williams, have vastly outplayed expectations, which can also be partially attributed to Kidd's coaching.
