The Dallas Mavericks may have struck gold with relatively new backup center Marquese Chriss.
He was brought in on a 10-day deal but earned a second 10-day deal after that. Now, he’s looking like a real candidate for a contract that would make him a Maverick through the entirety of the 2021-22 season.
Chriss does a lot of good things. He attacks the rim hard with or without the ball. He rebounds well. He’s uber-athletic. He has a knack for being in the right place at the right time. He works his tail off.
