Jay Knodell: Raymond Felton

“I have to go with Raymond Felton here. He’s the only guy to appear in more games than Wesley Matthews, and he singlehandedly won Dallas a few games over the course of the season. It’ll be interesting to see what type of contract he has earned himself this offseason.” -Knodell

You could have made a case for Dwight Powell earlier in the season or for David Lee once he was brought in mid-season. Then there is the case for Zaza Pachulia if you considered him a role player on this Dallas team.
