It wasn't too long ago that Dallas Mavericks fans were asking for a change at the point guard position in Jason Kidd's starting lineup. Cooper Flagg began the season as the leading facilitator, but it was soon revealed that the team needed a clear guard who could run the offense. Media and former NBA veterans even took note of the situation as Dallas was turning into a dumpster fire with no on-ball creation. They believed D'Angelo Russell needed to be the starting point guard.
Former players like Lou Williams and Chandler Parsons, along with reporter Michelle Beadle, joined a podcast to outline how Russell had all the intangibles to lead the Mavs' offense without Kyrie Irving.
