Khan is 20.

The Athletic NBA Daily
The NBA’s Best and Worst Shooters + The Mavs Vision | Slam N Jam

We may very well be watching the first chapter in one of the greatest shooters in League history.

The Athletic NBA Daily
The NBA’s Best and Worst Shooters + The Mavs Vision | Slam N Jam

Yeah.

The Athletic NBA Daily
The NBA’s Best and Worst Shooters + The Mavs Vision | Slam N Jam

And I think that is well deserving of a what.

The Athletic NBA Daily
The NBA’s Best and Worst Shooters + The Mavs Vision | Slam N Jam

All right, Andrew, it's time for the Wheel of Fandom, the weekly segment where we spin a wheel, it lands on a team, and we become fans of that team for the next week.

The Athletic NBA Daily
The NBA’s Best and Worst Shooters + The Mavs Vision | Slam N Jam

Last week, the wheel landed on the Dallas Mavericks and their exciting rookie Cooper Flagg.

The Athletic NBA Daily
The NBA’s Best and Worst Shooters + The Mavs Vision | Slam N Jam

Oh, boy, finally a chance to lock in on Cooper Flagg for a week.

The Athletic NBA Daily
The NBA’s Best and Worst Shooters + The Mavs Vision | Slam N Jam

And by Cooper Flagg, I, of course, mean Chris Middleton and Najee Marshall because Cooper Flagg did not play this week.

The Athletic NBA Daily
The NBA’s Best and Worst Shooters + The Mavs Vision | Slam N Jam

Yeah.

Yeah.

The loss brings Dallas to 21-38, 11th in the West and 7th in the reverse standings.

The Athletic NBA Daily
The NBA’s Best and Worst Shooters + The Mavs Vision | Slam N Jam

Per Cleaning the Glass, the Mavericks have the 26th ranked offense and 15th ranked defense.

The Athletic NBA Daily
The NBA’s Best and Worst Shooters + The Mavs Vision | Slam N Jam

Andrew, if the Mavericks are a favorite team, who is our guest?

The Athletic NBA Daily
The NBA’s Best and Worst Shooters + The Mavs Vision | Slam N Jam

So the Mavs don't have a ton of young players, but Max Christie is one of them.

The Athletic NBA Daily
The NBA’s Best and Worst Shooters + The Mavs Vision | Slam N Jam

He's had a really nice season for the Mavs at age 22.

The Athletic NBA Daily
The NBA’s Best and Worst Shooters + The Mavs Vision | Slam N Jam

He's increased his true shooting to 62%, hitting over 42% of his threes.

The Athletic NBA Daily
The NBA’s Best and Worst Shooters + The Mavs Vision | Slam N Jam

As you think ahead to next season and his future with this team, where are the biggest areas of improvement needed for Max Christie to take that next step?

The Athletic NBA Daily
The NBA’s Best and Worst Shooters + The Mavs Vision | Slam N Jam

so for a lot of Mavs fans I'm assuming attention is shifting towards the NBA draft if it hasn't already let's imagine a world where the Mavericks jump up again and they're able to grab one of these top three prospects what is your feel for kind of the fan base how they're ranking those three prospects who they think would fit the best next to Cooper that's a great question um

The Athletic NBA Daily
The NBA’s Best and Worst Shooters + The Mavs Vision | Slam N Jam

Yeah, I want to shout out our good friend Sam Vecini because he had kind of an extended segment on Darren Peterson this week.
