3. Cam Reddish

3-and-D wings are one of the most important assets to have during the NBA Playoffs, and you can never have too many of them during the final stretch of the season. You need players who can guard elite offensive wings and knock down open jumpers. Shooting is an essential skill for the playoffs, and oftentimes the end-game lineups don't include a center.

These lineups include versatile forwards to fill out their frontcourt, and the Mavs could look to sign someone like Cam Reddish. This season for the Los Angeles Lakers, Reddish is averaging 6.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 40.5 percent from the field and 33.7 percent from downtown. He was having a solid season before getting injured and has started in 26 games this season.

Reddish can attack the basket, score off the dribble, and knock down open shots. Having your shooters be able to attack closeouts is important, and Reddish would be a good fit on the Dallas bench.

He is also only 24 years old and has a player option this summer. If he decides to test the open market, the Mavs may be a good fit for him.

Reddish already learned how to play with LeBron James, and playing with Luka Doncic may not be too big of an adjustment for him.
