Sound familiar? It should.
The Mavericks officially signed Finney-Smith on Friday before the team left for Las Vegas where he and his teammates will play in the Summer League. This is the second consecutive summer in which Dallas added a young, “3-and-D” type of player, following up the addition of Justin Anderson via the first round of the 2015 NBA Draft. The Mavs also signed Wesley Matthews in free agency last season, giving the club even more shooting and even more defense.
The NBA is getting longer and more athletic, and the game is being played farther and farther from the rim.
