Dallas Mavericks

2016 3-point Accuracy: 35.0 percent

Thompson 3-point Accuracy: 38.9 percent

The Dallas Mavericks improved dramatically with the return of veteran Dirk Nowitzki. In that period, the team has been playing .500 ball. But is it too little too late? The team is in a 13 game deficit from .500. Playing even-steven ball  the remainder of the season assures the team will pick low in the NBA Draft but not make the playoffs.

Quite the conundrum.

While Barnes is clearly a productive starter, he is backed up by Justin Anderson (second year veteran) and Dorian Finney-Smith (undrafted rookie)

Thompson has better experience and perimeter shot than either. While the team would likely not make the playoffs either way, Thompson would be a nice prospect to consider giving a trial run this season, and consider signing him to a contract if the team likes what they see.
