The Dallas Mavericks, despite playing like one of the best teams in the Western Conference so far this season, have a bit of a youth movement going at the back end of their rotation. Some, like Dereck Lively II, are quickly moving up the rookie ladder and making an early case for their spot on the NBA’s All-Rookie team.
Others, though, don’t have such an easy path to playing time or need more development, so they’re seeing some time with the Mavericks’ G League affiliate the Texas Legends. The Legends are three games into the season, and had their first two home games over the weekend.
