The Dallas Mavericks have been lowkey having a great NBA offseason. After missing the playoffs last season despite an All-NBA performance from Luka Doncic, Mark Cuban and the Mavs got to re-sign Kyrie Irving to a 3-year extension. But Luka and Kyrie are just the main core pieces of this team and the biggest trade that the Mavs pulled off was trading for Grant Williams. In this trade, Dallas gave up Reggie Bullock to San Antonio plus a couple of picks to the Celtics. But Williams should be a key piece for a contending Dallas Mavericks team. Dallas also got who they wanted in the NBA draft after selecting Dereck Lively and Olivier-Maxence Prosper. The team also signed Seth Curry, and also acquired Richaun Holmes, and Dante Exum.
The Mavs already have rising young players Josh Green and Jaden Hardy but the team is still in win-now mode. Luka Doncic is still one of the best NBA players and Kyrie Irving should provide him with the support to win a championship. The Dallas Mavericks’ offseason moves are encouraging. Coach Jason Kidd will be having a chance to build off his star tandem after missing the playoffs. But how will Grant Williams help Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irvng, and the Dallas Mavericks?

Dorian isn't 6-10, he's 6'7", but has an almost 7'0" wingspan, while Grant Williams is 6'6" with a 6'10" wingspan. However Grant has about 25 pounds over DFS, weighing in at about 235 compared to Finney-Smith at about 210. I do think Dorian is probably a little better defender than Williams, but Grant will fit like a glove on this team with Luka and Kyrie.
Williams wouldn't be asked to create offense too often for sure, but him being able to effectively drive and score on hard closeouts is something that has been missing on the Mavericks roster for years! Way too many guys who can do nothing but shoot open threes, and they just have to eat the ball if the defender closes on them hard. Reggie Bullock for instance played 30 minutes per game last season at SG/SF, and he played in 79 games, he only drove the ball to the basket 31 times all season!! Grant Williams played only 25 minutes per game for the Celtics, and he drove to the basket 196 times last season! It's a big difference.
