Despite criticism over the Dallas Mavericks' lack of positional depth at the guard spot with Kyrie Irving set to miss an indefinite amount of time rehabbing from a torn ACL next season, the Mavericks still have an extremely deep rotation overall and have a few shooting guards and small forwards that can also play some point guard occasionally as well.
The Mavericks were smart to use two of their two-way contract slots on guards for this very reason, as they signed point guard Ryan Nembhard and sharpshooter Miles Kelly to deals ahead of Summer League in Las Vegas this past July, and both young players showed enough promise to be considered fringe rotational candidates for the Mavericks once the season starts.
