How the Mavericks could get a first-round draft pick for Wesley Matthews
If NBA players had an approval rating, Wesley Matthews might rise and fall more than any other player on the Mavericks. After defending James Harden well in in crunch time or nailing seven threes in a game, he’s an underrated role player. But any time he dribbles, drives, or even steps foot inside the three-point line on offense, he’s an overpaid, washed up, has-been who the Mavs never should have signed in the first place.
He’s a flawed non-All-Star level player, but an excellent role player with two select skills that won’t lose value in the league anytime soon: three-point shooting and perimeter defense.
