Justin Anderson helps the Mavericks' defense, shooting, but won't be a star

The Dallas Mavericks just did something they had not done in nearly a decade (since 2006). They had a draft selection, stayed with that selection, and actually took a player.

Justin Anderson is the newest Dallas Maverick, hailing from the Virginia Cavalier, and has a scouting report that has drastically changed from his sophomore to junior year. A touted recruit three years ago, Anderson hails from Montross, Virginia and played his high school ball at Montrose Christian Academy. By the way, that's not a typo: Montross, Virginia is in Virginia and Montrose Academy (of Kevin Durant fame) is in Rockville, Maryland and their one-letter difference is coincidental (or so we think).
