Inserting an undrafted rookie who is on a two-way deal into the starting lineup is a bold move, but it's clearly paying off for Dallas with Ryan Nembhard.
Jason Kidd made a bold decision at the end of last month by inserting 5-foot-11 point guard Ryan Nembhard into the starting lineup during their second game of a four-game road trip. He became a fan-favorite among Dallas Mavericks fans after a successful Summer League next to Cooper Flagg, but his NBA career had been fairly quiet before he started in his first game against the Los Angeles Lakers on November 28.
