Dorian Finney-Smith figured out years ago that his reputation as a 3-and-D guy would get him into the NBA.
As for sticking around for six continuously improving seasons?
“I knew if I wanted to stay in this league for a long time, I had to make shots,” Finney-Smith said Wednesday. “I knew defense could get me on the court. But offense would keep me out there.”
And it has. In a big way as he and the Mavericks get ready for their first-round playoff series against the Utah Jazz.
The 6-7 swingman just completed his sixth season by improving his scoring average and his 3-point percentage in all six seasons.
