The Dallas Mavericks are just eight days away from tipping off their regular season, as preseason basketball is still underway. Not only have the Mavericks now played in three of their four scheduled preseason matchups, but there are already clear takeaways that every fan can acknowledge just a few weeks into training camp.
While Cooper Flagg has been at the top of every headline this offseason, the Mavericks have steadily made strides within their guard unit as rookie Ryan Nembhard has begun to put fans and critics on notice. In just the first half of action against the Utah Jazz, Nembhard cleared all doubts with a stellar six-assist half of basketball.
