The Dallas Mavericks are entering their tenth season with veteran point guard J.J. Barea. Barea turned 34 in June but is coming off arguably the best season of his career. He averaged career-highs in assists, points, rebounds, and 3-pointers made per game last season.
The Mavs expect Barea to play a similar role as the backup point guard this year. He should play somewhere between 20 and 25 minutes per game and continue to produce well in Coach Rick Carlisle’s system.
Barea is currently off playing for the Puerto Rico National Team in 2019 World Cup qualifying.
