League Search Page > NBA > Dallas Mavericks > Roster & Statistics

The 1988–89 Dallas Mavericks relied primarily on Rolando Blackman and Derek Harper to drive the offense, with Detlef Schrempf providing efficient secondary scoring and all-around production. Harper also led the backcourt as the team’s main playmaker, while James Donaldson anchored the interior with rebounding and shot-blocking. The statistics indicate a balanced offensive approach supported by solid passing, dependable interior defense, and contributions from multiple scorers rather than a single dominant offensive focal point.
