While Chandler Parsons might be the offensive star of the group, Cuban said he doesn’t expect any of them to average 20 points a game. He sees a committee approach to the offensive output of the team.
“I’m not expecting anybody on our team to be a 20-point scorer,” Cuban said. “Not Dirk. I don’t want him to be a 20-point scorer. Seriously. Monta [Ellis] has that capability. [Tyson] Chandler has that capability. Dirk has that capability. Richard Jefferson’s got that capability. Jameer [Nelson could score] 15. Raymond [Felton] could do 15, if that was the focus, but that’s not our focus.
“That’s the cool thing. There are going to be times when we overpass. And that will be one of the challenges that Rick [Carlisle] has, that some guys are too unselfish.”
