A-Smith: Irving s Mavericks can compete for the championship. The former s ball-handling ability is unparalleled

Recently, famous talker A-Smith talked about Irving in the show "First Take".

A-Smith said: "Irving, I know he has a knee injury. I know he will miss half a season, but I still list the Mavericks as a strong contender for the championship because of this brother. He is a box office guarantee. His way of playing is not based on explosive power like Westbrook or Derek Ross. No, his ball-handling skills and shooting creativity are the essence."

According to previous reports, Irving will be injured until at least January next year. Last season, he averaged 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.3 interruptions per game.
