2022-2023 Player Reviews
Reviews of all Dallas Mavericks players from the 2022-23 season
Kyrie Irving brought talent and questions to the Mavericks
Irving is the most talented player Luka Doncic has played with, but he brings his own questions
Reggie Bullock wasn’t a big enough bandaid for Dallas’ defense
Reggie Bullock, along with the rest of the Mavericks, took a step back on defense, and that was before he lost Dorian Finney-Smith.
Maxi Kleber suffered through a disappointing, injury-plagued season
The overtaxed and over relied upon big man missed a ton of time and didn’t produce
McKinley Wright IV proved capable as a deep reserve for the Mavericks
Wright isn’t suited for a contender, but belongs on a NBA roster.
Javale McGee didn’t live up to the expectations the Mavericks had for him
It was a small sample size this season, but McGee showed flashes of what he can do to help this Mavericks team moving forward.
Tim Hardaway Jr. played his role perfectly
Hardaway’s game can be hit or miss, but it’s who he is.
Dwight Powell is a rock buffeted by turbulent seas
The longtime Maverick did everything you could ask of him in a season with no shortage of disappointments
The Christian Wood experiment failed but it was really over before it began
Wood was behind the eight ball from day one
Jaden Hardy proved plenty this season for the Mavericks
A roller-coaster trajectory for the rookie didn’t stop him from constantly improving this season.
Josh Green took a step forward for the Mavericks
After two seasons that left much to be desired, the third year wing made strides even in a disappointing year.
The Mavericks’ Frank Ntilikina experiment did not work
Signing Ntilikina was a good move, but it just didn’t work out.
The Dallas Mavericks needed more from Theo Pinson
This season, the Mavericks needed Pinson to be more than a glue guy on the bench, and it didn’t work out.
A.J. Lawson didn’t get a chance to showcase his skills for the Mavericks
Lawson didn’t get much time on the court to see if he belongs.
