NBA Power Rankings 2025-26: Thunder Dominate Again, But Which Unexpected Team Crashes the Top Five?
26. Dallas Mavericks
(3-7, last week No. 26)
Dallas’ mistake integrating Cooper Flagg wasn’t simply asking him to play out of position as a point guard, it was asking the rookie to do that while not putting the right players around him to make it work (there is a serious lack of shooting on this roster: Dallas is 25th in 3-point attempts a game and 29th in 3-point shooting percentage). Flagg is going to be great — he’s averaging 13.9 points and 6.6 rebounds a game — just give him time and a better-fitting roster. Along those lines, Klay Thompson was moved to the bench last week in a move Jason Kidd said was temporary, but likely will not be.
