While the Dallas Mavericks' season has started slowly with 11 wins and 17 losses, their young core has begun to stand out. Even last season, through the Mavericks' struggles after the Luka Doncic trade, Brandon Williams emerged as a guard who looked like he'd have a bright future in Dallas. But through his first 25 games, he has truly become an indispensable piece in Dallas' offense; however, this doesn't excuse him from possibly losing his role when Kyrie Irving returns from his torn ACL.
While Williams has emerged as a valuable player in Dallas' backcourt, the reality of his situation is that his 3-point shooting needs to improve if he wants to be a key piece in Dallas' core.
