Jason Kidd has a battle for minutes on his hands between Ryan Nembhard and Brandon Williams, and the answer to that internal joust for the backup point guard spot still doesn't have a clear answer.
The Dallas Mavericks signed D'Angelo Russell to a two-year deal during the offseason, but over the first two games, Kidd hasn't seemed to trust him. Russell spent the entire second half on Friday on the bench, and Kidd used Williams, Nembhard, and Jaden Hardy to try to give the offense a spark instead.
Dallas' backcourt is worse than they could've imagined, especially if Kidd isn't going to give Russell a consistent role, but he is going to have to decide between playing Williams and Nembhard soon.
