The Mavericks will need this contribution based on how depleted their guard rotation is.
Heading into next season, the Dallas Mavericks' biggest challenge will be trying to mitigate their lack of top-end guard talent with Kyrie Irving out of the lineup until sometime next season, as Dallas' only projected rotational point guards are currently D'Angelo Russell, Brandon Williams, and Dante Exum. Exum's already had trouble staying healthy in preseason, though, so this could force someone like Ran Nembhard or Jaden Hardy into the rotation.
