Mavs select Justin Anderson with 21st pick
The Mavericks selected Virginia SG Justin Anderson with the 21st pick of the 2015 NBA Draft.
If the NBA Draft really does represent both a team’s current and future plans, consider the Mavs’ desires clear: Dallas wants to defend.
That much became evident as the club used the No. 21 pick in the draft on Justin Anderson, a junior from Virginia, which just so happens to be head coach Rick Carlisle’s alma mater. Anderson is the prototypical “3-and-D” player, one who can shoot the three and play effective perimeter defense — only in Anderson’s case, he plays terrific defense on the outside.
