One of the Dallas Mavericks' biggest holes heading into this offseason was the lack of guard depth throughout the roster after Kyrie Irving tore his ACL back in March. In combating a catastrophic injury to Irving, the Mavericks relied on some notable reserve guards such as Spencer Dinwiddie, Jaden Hardy, and Brandon Williams last season.
While the Mavericks may not have even made the playoffs, it was already clear to see that Williams was emerging out of the pack as one of Dallas' go-to guards as the regular season came to a close and games became increasingly more important with the team attempting to make the playoffs.
