The Dallas Mavericks may attempt to bring in a player capable of aiding the high-energy forward at the defensive end of the floor via this month’s NBA Draft.
The Mavericks ranked 25th in the league in points allowed this season, giving up 102.3 points an outing. The Mavs also had a 103.7 defensive rating, ranking 18th in that department.
But perimeter defense is certainly something the Mavs are looking to address in the draft, tabbing Virginia’s junior standout Justin Anderson as a possible candidate for the team in the first round.
