DALLAS — There was a reviving door for the Dallas Mavericks at point guard this season after injuries and roster turnover left the team depleted in the backcourt. Now, the Mavericks might choose to address their need for consistency at that position with the No. 9 pick in June’s NBA Draft.
Overcoming a 4-17 start to the season to finish with a 33-49 record, the Mavericks saw an emergence of their young guards by the end of the grueling 82-game schedule. Waiving three-time All-Star point guard Deron Williams on Feb. 23, the Mavs handed the primary ball-handling duties to first-year floor general Yogi Ferrell and combo guard Seth Curry to close the season.
