With the 21st pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, the Dallas Mavericks selected Justin Anderson out of Virginia. Anderson came in with the typical treatment for younger players in Dallas as the youngster could barely crack the rotation at the beginning of the year.
By the end of the season, Anderson found himself logging over 20 minutes a game right in the middle of a playoff push for the Mavericks. As the Mavs finished 6th in the Western Conference, Anderson went from the end of the bench to start the season to helping guard Kevin Durant in the playoffs.
