The Dallas Mavericks signed Ding Yanyuhang this offseason in part because of their trip to China. Yanyuhang is 25 years old and signed a one-year non-guaranteed contract with the Mavs. He is a two-time MVP in the CBA and plays a starring role for the Chinese National Team.
For Ding to make the Mavericks regular season roster, he was going to have to stand out during training camp. The team is light on wing players, but Yanyuhang would have to replace a player with a guaranteed deal. That is a tough task for any undrafted NBA rookie.
