I don't see anything less than 20 per for Dirk, who remains head-and-shoulders above everyone else on the team when it comes to putting the ball in the basket. And I don't see anything like 20 for Mayo: the team's not hurting for scoring depth, and what they really need from OJ is for him to raise the level of his all-around game and his decision-making to facilitate the offensive flow.
Definitely looking forward to the season, though. I'd be lying if I said I felt particularly good about this team's chances of beating out the Lakers or Heat for the title, but I like the potential of this group to play some high-quality, fun-to-watch basketball, and I've missed seeing that from the Mavs.
