What Isaiah Thomas can bring to the table for the Dallas Mavericks

With Luka Doncic still in health and safety protocols as well as  Trey Burke, Tim Hardaway Jr., and newly signed Brandon Knight, the Dallas Mavericks can use another scoring punch alongside Kristaps Porzingis, Jalen Brunson, and Dorian Finney-Smith.

The team has an offensive rating of 109.2 and is 25th in points per game at 105.6, 23rd in field goals made, and 17th in assists.

At his size, one thing Thomas has for sure been able to do throughout his career, besides dominate during his time with the Celtics, is make people drop their jaws.

“The King of the fourth,” as he used to be labeled during his days as an MVP candidate in Boston, has a career average of 18 points, two rebounds, and almost five assists, shooting 43 percent from the field and 36 percent from distance.

Thomas uses his speed and strength to give him the ability to blow by defenders and finish over monsters in the paint. Those capabilities ignited him to become a near 30-point scorer in 2017 and come close to shooting 50/40/90.

Though it is uncertain how many regular minutes Thomas will receive moving forward with the Mavs, this opportunity allows Thomas to showcase his slept-on talents once again.
