McKinley Wright IV proved capable as a deep reserve for the Mavericks

McKinley Wright IV probably shouldn’t have played much for the Dallas Mavericks. That’s not a knock on him, but rather the usual state of things for a young player on a contender. And that’s what everyone believed the Mavericks to be this season, until everyone, including the Mavericks, realized they weren’t even close. So Wright ended up seeing the floor more often than the usual two-way contract guy, and had a pretty decent season.

Wright played in a career-high 27 games, averaging 12.1 minutes per outing. He scored 4.2 points per game, shooting 47 percent from the field.
