I've made this point for two years now ad nauseam, but I think it's been tweaked just a bit with the defensive improvement once the team is finally healthy.
What they primarily need is a guy who can handle the ball to take the load off of Luka, and he has to be a really good player to boot. I think Brunson is inching his way, but there is something still off about his game that I can't quite pinpoint. It's like he does most things well and doesn't make mistakes, but I'm rarely seeing a huge impact. He did hit that big shot against the Spurs which means the path is there, but the Mavs need that guy NOW.
