It’s been a long journey to the NBA for Ryan Broekhoff, the 28 year old Australia native who has a smooth outside shot and will be trying to work his way in to Rick Carlisle’s rotation. Though it’s his first year in the league, Broekhoff was gaining attention from a handful of NBA teams this summer. While the Mavericks weren’t one of those seven or eight teams he worked out for, they got to the wing first. He looks to fill a sizable hole the Mavs need to fill off the bench.
There’s plenty of unknown for Broekhoff this season, after spending several years playing around the world.
