FA: The Dallas Mavericks Sign Ryan Nembhard to a 2-way Deal

[F Gump]

Watched his highlights.  Nice signing.  It is just really tough being under 6 feet.  There are a few exceptions but the success rate is razor thin.  My history is filled with liking small guards who do the right thing.  Most of them don’t make it in the nba.  You really need to be a tough MFer. 

Good gamble though and should be at least to fill in if injuries hit.  Looking forward to se me how he competes.

"Good gamble though and should be at least to fill in if injuries hit." -- Able to be a fill in, in yr 1, even as a deep backup? Hmmm. I have real doubts.

IMO Mavs plan is basically for "developing him" (hopefully), primarily in GL in yr 1, and maybe some in scrimmages/camp. IMO "using him"" (beyond garbage mins) isn't in their 2025-26 plan at all.
