Despite not playing a single game this year due to an ACL tear, Kyrie Irving is making a major impact this season through his leadership of young guard Brandon Williams. Irving is often seen at Mavs shootarounds and games despite not being cleared to play, and his voice is still loud and clear in the locker room.
Especially toward Williams, the young guard that he has quietly taken under his wing.
Williams is 25 years old and is in his second full season with the Mavericks, and Irving has been a great mentor and friend to him over the last few years.
