Last season, the Dallas Mavericks went through an abundance of big men and forwards. Numerous players, such as Anthony Davis and Dereck Lively II, suffered various injuries that forced them to sit out for extended periods. It was a dilemma that brought in new faces to help solve the problem. Some players, like Kessler Edwards, saw an increase in minutes to help ease the injury bug, and he played much more than anyone could've expected.
Edwards struggled to find playing time during the first three months of the season. He saw less than two minutes per game from October to December, as fans questioned if the team's top two-way signing would ever make an impact.
