The Mavericks could end up leaning heavily on second year forward Dwight Powell and rookie Justin Anderson quite a bit this season, both by design and necessity.
Anderson, the 21st pick in this year’s draft out of the University of Virginia, looked like an NBA-ready player during the Las Vegas Summer League where he averaged 17.5 points and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 38.5% from three-point land.
Powell showed flashes of competency for the Mavericks last year, and led the Summer League team with 18.8 points and 9.2 points last month.
