1. Who Gets the Last Roster Spot?

If you take all of the returning veterans from last years team, the incoming Warriors in Barnes and Bogut, and the youngsters in Seth Curry and Quincy Acy, that gives you 12 players locked in for a roster spot.

Then there is second round pick A.J. Hammons, who many assume is a lock for a roster spot. His summer league teammate Jonathan Gibson, who was by far the MVP for the Mavs in Las Vegas, looks to be on his way to a roster spot based off some recent comments and hints from Cuban. So let’s assume Hammons and Gibson will be on the roster.

This would leave one roster spot up for grabs between Kyle Collinsworth, Jameel Warney, Keith Hornsby, Nicolas Brussino, Dorian Finney-Smith, and whoever else they give the last camp invite to.

Will the Mavs go with a DeJaun Blair type in Warney? Will they add ANOTHER guard to the roster in Collinsworth or Hornsby? Will Finney-Smith and Brussino battle it out for a final wing spot?
