At some point, we’re going to have to admit the Mavericks have an eye for talent.
Dallas has its draft day woes for sure. Just look at Justin Anderson toiling away at the bench for another reminder. Yet somehow, the Mavericks find ways to scoop up young-ish misfit toys and turn them into serviceable basketball players.
O.J. Mayo. DeJuan Blair. Brandan Wright. Al-Farouq Aminu. Salah Mejri. Hell, even Monta Ellis to a certain degree. All dudes the rest of the league didn’t really know what to do with so the Mavs just shyly gobble them onto the roster.
