In a league that seems to get smaller and faster every season, it’s good business to have a surplus of midsized players.
The Mavericks have bought a lot of stock in that business.
Depending on how you classify Dorian Finney-Smith, the Mavericks have a solid six-pack of wing players. The number swells to seven if you include Finney-Smith, who is entering his sixth season and qualified as a jack-of-all-trades when Rick Carlisle was coach.
With Jason Kidd now calling the shots, things could change. But the bottom line is that Finney-Smith will figure out ways to contribute, no matter where he is on the court.
