It is great to see that the Slovenian is in top form ahead of the NBA season. While many pundits often question the youngster for not being in the best of shape, with EuroBasket going on, the 23-year-old looks at the top of his game right now.
After finishing the season with an appearance in the Western Conference Finals, the Mavs will be hoping to establish themselves as a contender in the West. While adding Christian Wood is a step in the right direction, the Mavs have failed to replace the void left by the departure of Jalen Brunson. Are the new look Mavericks good enough to compete? Only time will tell.
