Why The Dallas Mavericks Do The Deal
Yes, absolutely. In the immediate future, the Mavericks would benefit greatly from having one of the NBA’s top 3-and-D wings. Even if Anunoby doesn’t have a single extra layer to his game, this is a good addition for the Mavs.
It is also possible for the Mavericks to explore the possibility of him having some extra playmaking skills, if he does. Anunoby won’t be the center of the Mavericks’ offense, as the team already has two of the NBA’s best playmakers who can operate as a team.
