Dallas Mavericks: Wesley Iwundu shows off his incredible workouts

Dallas Mavericks: Wesley Iwundu shows off his incredible workouts

The Dallas Mavericks made moves this offseason, but none was more surprising than signing Wesley Iwundu to a two-year deal. It did not even seem possible at the beginning of the offseason because Iwundu was going to be a restricted free agent. The Magic declined to give him a qualifying offer, though. That allowed the Mavs to swoop in and sign the 25-year-old wing at the minimum.

Iwundu is entering his fourth NBA season. He played a consistent 15-20 minute per game role in Orlando since his rookie year. The 6’6 wing is a defensive-minded player with an improving 3-point shot. He could make a significant impact in Dallas as another player that coach Rick Carlisle can use to slow down a hot scorer.

Iwundu worked hard on his game this offseason. Let us take a look at two Instagram videos to see where he is improving.

Iwundu is a career 31.9 percent 3-point shooter. He improved it to 36.7 percent in the 2018-2019 season before taking a dip to 34.1 percent last year. Iwundu knows that is an important part of his game, so he is getting in plenty of work there. See him nailing triples here.

The 25-year-old also showed off a more in-depth video of his workouts that fans have to check out.

Iwundu is working on being comfortable letting it fly off any action. Adding a 37 percent 3-point shot to his defensive game will make him a desired commodity in the NBA. The potential is there, but Iwundu needs to continue improving.

Wesley Iwundu will be in a battle for the Dallas Mavericks final roster spot during training camp. The organization has 16 guaranteed contracts on the books but will need to get down to 15 before the start of the regular season. Iwundu’s improved shooting could be the difference in him sticking in Dallas. Stay tuned.
