As the longest-tenured Maverick player, Dwight Powell has gotten the most out of his abilities.
He’s also earned a measure of respect with the way he’s grown from a second-round draft pick into being a key cog on a team that went to the Western Conference finals last season.
That’s why he was added to the three-man council that acts as the conduit between the players and the coaching staff.
It’s another nod to Powell’s perseverance and his value to the Mavericks, which has been hard-earned but continues to be proven on a regular basis.
