Dorian Finney-Smith

To some’s surprise, Finney-Smith was signed to a three-year, partial guaranteed deal by the Mavs prior to Saturday night’s game over the weekend. In a deal that is similar to ones handed out last summer to secure camp spots, Finney-Smith will come in this fall and compete for a final roster spot.

On Saturday night, we seen the glimpses of versatility that he can offer on both ends of the court. From knocking down an outside three to defending the paint with his long body, Finney-Smith displayed his athleticism and motor that warranted him a camp spot.

Mavs fans want to see more of that on Monday night as Dallas looks to find young, wing talent to fill out the roster. With Norm Powell filling it up, I want to see if Finney-Smith is up for the challenge in quieting the feisty Powell.
