How Dennis Smith Jr. can convince Rick Carlisle to play him more in Mavs crunch time

Jean-Jacques Taylor, Cowboys insider for NBC 5 in Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS-TV) and host of J Dub City 9 a.m.-1 p.m. weekdays on 103.3 KESN-FM, answered your questions in a live chat recently. Here are some highlights:

Should the Mavs take Trae Young in the draft if they have the chance?

JJT: I wouldn't think so, even though, he has proved to be a dynamic scorer in college basketball. The Mavs drafted Dennis Smith Jr. to be their point guard of the future. I know positions are fluid in the NBA in a lot of cases, but you can't play those guys together, and the Mavs are pretty happy with DSJ.
