Mavericks: Tyrell Terry shows off diverse skill set in G League bubble

The Dallas Mavericks drafted Tyrell Terry with the first pick in the second round in 2020. They loved his ability to shoot and his high basketball IQ. Many predicted the Stanford product would be a first-round pick, but Dallas was happy to grab him at 31st overall.

Terry has been limited to mop-up duty as a rookie. The 6’2 guard is still growing into his frame and needs time to develop. The Mavs sent him to the G League bubble in Orlando to get minutes. The Texas Legends opted out, so Terry joined the Memphis Hustle where he has had some big games already.

His best performance came on Saturday night against the Erie Bayhawks. Let us take a closer look.

Dallas Mavericks rookie Tyrell Terry shows off diverse skill set in G League

Terry was the starting two and caught fire on Feb. 20. He finished with 23 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, and one steal in 34 minutes of action. Terry hit five of ten from the field including four 3-pointers. The 20-year-old nailed an impossible clutch 3-pointer as the Hustle attempted to make a comeback.

Terry is shooting 41.2 percent over his six games inside the G League bubble. It was fantastic to see him showing off the other parts of his game on Saturday. The 20-year-old is grabbing rebounds and making plays. It is important to develop those other areas if he wants to earn a significant role in the NBA.

Terry best role may be at the two as a spot shooter. He drew comparisons to Seth Curry, but the rookie will need to prove he can hit shots at an elite rate. The early signs are positive for Tyrell Terry.

The Dallas Mavericks have four talented rookies playing in the G League bubble. They need to get minutes and continue developing. Stay tuned for updates as they become available. The Smoking Cuban will have everything supporters crave on the Mavs as well, so do not miss it.
