Tim Cowlishaw: Is re-signing Jalen Brunson really the Mavericks’ best option?

DALLAS — Of all the magical numbers the Mavericks produced in a six-week playoff run including team and individual records for 3-point shots made and attempted, the one that stands out for me in considering Dallas’ future is this:

6.4.

That may not be instantly recognizable. It is Luka Doncic’s assist average for the postseason. That’s way down from his regular-season average of 8.7. That’s way down from last year’s playoff average of 10.3. And that is despite the fact that his teammates shot better than 40% from 3-point range for the first time and Reggie Bullock set a club record with 52 made 3-pointers.
