Over the offseason, the Dallas Mavericks' biggest roster need was guard depth after Kyrie Irving went down with a torn ACL. While the Mavericks added depth at the ball-handler position by signing D'Angelo Russell and Ryan Nembhard on draft night, the team still failed to address one of their biggest roster holes that could plague them next season: shooting.
Even though the Mavericks still have Klay Thompson under contract for the next two seasons, they still desperately need shooting and spacing within their starting unit and off the bench. Many fans have speculated that Thompson could eventually be serviceable in a reserve role, but due to Dallas' dire need for shooting, it's unlikely the Mavericks can afford to replace Thompson with a player who cannot space the floor within the starting unit.
