Arike Ogunbowale was drafted in 2019. During that time frame (seven seasons, including this one), Dallas has had four head coaches -- and only one season above .500:I actually think the first thing they need to do is replace their coach. I also think they need to bring in "culture" players, because right now they don't seem to have a particularly good culture right there.

Rather, one of the main questions is whether Ogunbowale is a player around whom a championship contender can be built. Four coaches have not been able to harness Arike's immense talent into being an efficient player who makes her teammates better.
Given how ball dominant she is, her career shooting averages (39.1% from the floor, 34.8% from three), effective field goal percentage, and true shooting percentages do not translate into a player for a team with championship aspirations.
The question I have is if Dallas is willing to build around Bueckers and make the decision to trade Ogunbowale, possibly to one of the expansion franchises (Portland and Toronto) for next year in exchange for a package including first round picks.
