In the summer of 2018, the Dallas Mavericks renounced the rights of Doug McDermott and let him walk after a quick stint at the end of the season. One of the Mavericks biggest needs going into the offseason 0f 2018 was matching McDermott’s three-point shooting ability by finding a replacement.
Realizing McDermott was going to command more money in free agency than expected. The Mavs made a more financially affordable move and signed Ryan Broekhoff to a two-year partially guaranteed contract.
Going undrafted in the 2013 NBA Draft, the former All-American played four seasons at Indiana’s Valparaiso University, averaging nearly 12 points per game over a total of 134 consistent games played.
