Luka and McGee will love playing with each other. In addition to being two of the funniest guys in the league, their connection in the pick-and-roll is something that will be extremely entertaining for fans to watch.
With a deep postseason run in these last few playoffs, the Mavericks are a much more experienced team. Hopefully, the Texas-based franchise witnesses similar success.
