They were blown away by the Clippers! The new star in the backcourt did not have the same effect when he served as the starting point guard of the Mavericks?

In a previous NBA Cup game, the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Dallas Mavericks at home 133-127 after a hard-fought double overtime. After this game, the Clippers, who ended their 6-game losing streak, improved their record to 4-8, and their ranking climbed to 11th in the Western Conference; while the Mavericks, who suffered a 3-game losing streak, saw their record drop to 3-10, and their ranking dropped to 14th in the Western Conference.

In this game, the performance of the Mavericks' starting point guard Brandon Williams was simply disastrous. Williams played for 18 minutes and 8 seconds, shooting 2 of 9, 0 of 5 from beyond the three-point line, and 3 of 4 free throws. He only scored 7 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals. He also had 1 foul. His plus-minus value was as low as -27, the lowest in the game. Williams' efficiency on the offensive end is a mess, and his touch on outside shooting is even worse. He also got a lot of shooting opportunities, but he did not show his proper scoring ability at all. In addition, Williams did not effectively organize the team's offense, nor did he play the role of point guard well. Not only that, Williams' performance on the defensive end was also terrible, and he was beaten by his opponents in various ways. The team's situation is really bad when Williams is on the court, and the -27 front office can fully reflect this.

In the NBA regular season last season, Williams played a total of 33 times in 82 games, averaging 14.8 minutes per game. He averaged 8.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game. He also had 1.2 turnovers and 1 foul. He shot 52.1% from the field, 40% from the three-point range, and 83.3% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Williams has averaged 10.2 minutes per game in the first 11 games, averaging 10.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.8 steals, and 0.1 blocks per game. There are also 1.9 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. The shooting percentage is 44.1%, the three-point shooting percentage is 14.8%, and the free throw percentage is 74.3%.

Williams' performance this season is certainly not bad. He can often perform quite well when he comes on as a backup point guard. He can play a very good role in scoring and organization. His performance on the defensive end is also much stronger than everyone imagined. Because D'Angelo Russell's performance as the starting point guard was really unsatisfactory, the Mavericks also chose to let Williams enter the starting lineup and replace Russell's position. As a result, Williams' performance after entering the starting lineup was ups and downs and very unstable. In this game, he had a disaster-level performance. We really don't understand this situation. Does it seem like whoever serves as the starting point guard for the Mavericks will have a catastrophic performance?
