The Dallas Mavericks are known for their reclamation projects in recent years. However, last season was more focused on finding diamonds in the rough, rather than trying to refurbish damaged goods. With God Shammgod hired as the player development coach, that approach turned out surprisingly well for the Mavs (Shammgod was recently signed to a 4-year extension to stay in Dallas).
Although Yogi Ferrell may have been the biggest surprise of all last season, Seth Curry exploding onto the scene sent waves of excitement through a fanbase that isn’t used to seeing talent develop before their own eyes (at least not recently).
