Preseason NBA basketball is far from the real deal, but it can still be fun. That is, unless you’re one of the umpteen Mavericks unsure of your future with the franchise. For young guys like Maurice NDour, Jamil Wilson, and Brandon Ashley, or older guys like Jarrid Famous, Samuel Dalembert, JaVale McGee and Salah Mejri the Mavericks’ preseason schedule will be a pressure-filled, Hunger Games-like atmosphere as they continue to battle for roster spots.
It’s already been reported that Mavericks rookie Justin Anderson will see plenty of action during Dallas’ warmup competitions as a means for the youngster to start earning himself some minutes.
