It wasn’t long ago that fans of the Dallas Mavericks lamented each hoist from deep that Al-Farouq Aminu attempted. A lot has happened since then, though. Aminu, thanks in part to Rick Carlisle’s and Terry Stotts’ insistence, stuck with the deep ball. It paid off. In his four seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, he transformed into a credible three-point shooting threat. Now, Aminu is hitting the open market, where he will undoubtedly garner attention from numerous teams—the Mavericks included.
If you watched Aminu when he played with Dallas in 2014-15, you know what you can expect from him, generally.
