The Dallas Mavericks pulled off a massive steal on opening night of free agency last summer when they signed Naji Marshall to a three-year, $27 million deal, and heading into the 2025-26 season, this move is somehow still being overlooked despite being one of the best-value signings of the offseason.
This move confused Mavs fans at first, as it was a direct message that Derrick Jones Jr. wouldn't be returning, but he provided just as much of an impact in his first season in Dallas. Marshall averaged 13.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 50.
