Dallas Mavericks forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist could play a key role in the playoffs

The Dallas Mavericks signed Michael Kidd-Gilchrist back in February. He fell out of the Hornets rotation this season and agreed to a buyout. MKG has always been a plus defender, but he struggles on the offensive end. The 26-year-old never quite found his role in Dallas before the NBA suspended play in March because of the novel coronavirus.

Kidd-Gilchrist got a late start in the restart too. The Mavericks arrived in Orlando on July 8, but MKG did not get there until July 18.
