The Dallas Mavericks traded Seth Curry for Josh Richardson and a second-round pick on draft night. They wanted to improve their perimeter defense. The Mavs used the pick to select Tyler Bey out of Colorado. The 6’7 wing was one of the best defenders in the NCAA last season.
Bey is an end-of-the-bench option for the Mavericks. He played a total of 13 minutes before being sent to the G League bubble. Bey is on a two-way contract, but the NBA eliminated the maximum days that can be spent with the parent team for this season.
