Looks like he entered the NBA draft in 2016, but didn't get drafted. I have no idea what he can be in this league, but leave it up to Donnie & Co. to dig up these unknown prospects to see if they can be a diamond in the rough.

Mavs 4th in 3pt attempts (only Hawks, Bucks, and Rockets shot more last season)
Mavs 27th in 3pt% (only Knicks, Lakers, and Suns shot worse)
It's clear that Rick wants the three to be an important part of the team's strategy, but we simply didn't have the personnel for it. It's also obvious that surrounding Luka with guys who can shoot will only help spread the floor and make life easier for Doncic to work his magic while potentially leading to more wins.
Guys we've added this offseason or during last season
39.5% - Porzingis in his last season
37.7% - Jackson
42.5% - Arakji last season
38.5% - Reaves when only counting threes from NBA range last season
33.3% - Roby (40% in his sophomore year)
Other than KP, who has shown dominance, I'm going to assume all of those other guys are Rigadeaus until proven otherwise, but it's still nice that the Mavs are looking to hit it big with lots of small wagers on the right guys.
