Something is rotten with the shooting in Dallas. Two seasons removed from having the most efficient offence in NBA history, the Dallas Mavericks are struggling to hit shots. It’s not just one or two players who are outliers, bringing down percentages, it’s a problem up and down the roster.
Players who were shooting stalwarts last season—Sterling Brown, Reggie Bullock, Dorian Finney-Smith—don’t have the touch through the first two games of the season. Even Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis, in his three appearances, aren’t shooting well. Even though the season is still early, there’s plenty of cause for concern.
