Posting a few poll results relevant to r/Mavericks:

​

**Who’s the MVP?**

* Luka got 2% of the vote (6th).
* Since there were 108 respondents, he probably got 2 votes.

​

**You’re build a roster from scratch: Who are you going to sign first?**

* Luka gets 3rd with 6.3%.

​

**Who’s the most overrated player?**

* Trae Young gets 2nd with14.8% behind “Other” (31.5%)
* No other Mavs or former Mavs got votes, but there are a few guys that people on this sub want to acquire (Siakam, Gobert, Draymond, Zach LaVine).

**Who’s the most underrated player?**

* Jalen Brunson is 4th here, with 4.1% of the vote.
* “Other” takes the top spot with 34%.
* Current and former Mavs who got 1 vote in the other category: Kyrie, Maxi, DSJ, Christian Wood, Delon Wright.

​

**Who’s the greatest player of all time?**

* No votes for Dirk, which proves the results of this survey are invalid.

​

**Who in the league would you least like to fight?**

* Boban got a vote, as well as each Morris brother.

​

**Which arena has the best/worst fans?**

* This was two questions but the AAC didn’t show up on either which makes sense because I don’t think our fans are particularly loud or enthusiastic during games. We have a lot of people who get free corporate tickets and don’t really pay attention to the game.

​

**Which current coach, aside from your own, would you most want to play for?**

* Rick Carlisle shows up at 13th here with 2.1% of the vote
* “Other” is 4th, no Jason Kidd votes, but 1 Dwane Casey vote.
* Jamahl Mosley also got 2.1%.

​

**Which current coach, aside from your own, would you least want to play for?**

* Jason Kidd and Rick Carlisle BOTH in 5th here with 5.5% of the vote.
* Dwane Casey got 1 vote in the “Other” category

​

**Who is the best/worst ref?**

* For best ref, Tony Brothers voted #1 (28.8%) despite all the issues with Spencer Dinwiddie this season.
* For worst ref, Tony Brothers voted #3 (8.5%)

​

**Who talks the most trash on the court?**

* Luka got 3% of the vote here (6th)
* Josh Richardson and Deandre Jordan also got 1 vote each
