Former WNBA No. 1 pick: Mavericks will surpass the Spurs to become the most progressive team. They can enter the playoffs

Former WNBA No. 1 Chiney Ogwumike believes in the NBA Today program that the Dallas Mavericks will make significant progress next season, exceeding the Spurs and being able to make the playoffs.

Ogwumike said: "I want to talk about Dallas because I think some people may have overlooked them, especially considering that Kyrie Irving is unable to play due to injury. But their starting lineup is still very solid, plus the new Russell. And Flagg's arrival, which will bring a positive atmosphere to the city."

"In addition, who has a better summer than Klay Thompson? He has recovered well, both mentally, physically and emotionally, and returns to the court to shoot and score. With Daniel Gafford and Lefly, this team will be one of the tallest teams, with Anthony Davis in the interior. They performed poorly last season, but maybe they can find continuity while waiting for Irving to return." Ogwumike said.

In early March this year, Irving suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee.
