30 Greatest Dallas Mavericks in history, ranked by Player Efficiency Rating (PER)

19. Monta Ellis - 16.6

For two seasons during the back half of his career, Monta Ellis was a star for the Dallas Mavericks and quickly became a fan favorite.

In his two seasons in Dallas, Ellis averaged 19.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 44.8 percent from the field and 30.4 percent from downtown. He was an incredible scorer next to Dirk Nowitzki, and he could get a bucket whenever he wanted.

Whether Ellis was knifing to the bucket for a fancy finish or hitting a contested jumper from the mid-range, he was going to find a way to make the other team pay for leaving him open. He was also an elite option in the clutch for the Mavs and made multiple buzzer-beating game-winners.

He was the definition of a walking bucket for the Mavs, and he will always be remembered for his clutch shots and acrobatic finishes in Dallas.

Ellis' time in Dallas came to a close after the 2014-15 season as he signed with the Indiana Pacers. Every Mavs fan wanted to see Ellis back in Dallas, but his career trended downward as he only played two seasons for the Pacers before retiring.

Even though Ellis only played two seasons in Dallas, his deadly offensive game was extremely fun to watch and he took his game to the next level in the playoffs during both seasons he played for the Mavs.
