THE Mavericks continue to make some small adjustments to their workforce and The Athletic informs us, in this case, of the signing of Kessler Edwards. He will have a two-way contract in Texas next season, which will allow him to split his time between the NBA and the G-League.
At the dawn of his 24th birthday, the winger has so far known two franchises in the Major League: the Nets, where he revealed himself, then the Kings, where he struggled to confirm his great promise in New York. In his career, he averages 3.5 points and 2.0 rebounds, all at 35% on 3-pointers.
Mainly known for his athletic and defensive qualities, Kessler Edwards can slip into a Derrick Jones Jr. role, at a position where Naji Marshall was recruited and where the emergence of Olivier-Maxence Prosper is hoped for.
Even if Dallas is counting mainly on Klay Thompson to play alongside Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
