The Mavericks are not new to integrating European players into the NBA style of play. After all, the resident GOAT of all European ballers is about to enter his 21st season in the league, and he's played all of them in the Mavericks blue.

Luka Doncic is, in the eyes of most basketball fans, the best player in the draft as of now. The Mavericks were never a tanking team by their own free choice, but some rough deals in free agency have left them in that position for a few years now.
