With Dallas Mavericks fans eagerly awaiting Kyrie Irving to return from injury, it seems the Mavs have their new full-time backup once Irving returns, and it's pretty easy to see why. Brandon Williams has taken a huge leap from last year to now, as he's now heavily involved in the Mavs' offense. He's becoming a familiar face on the court, and it's clear that he has the edge over rookie Ryan Nembhard.
Nembhard has nothing to feel bad about, though. He's already proving more than he was expected to do as a second-round pick. The former Gonzaga point guard is no doubt a steal from this rookie class, and is making it look like the best rookie class in many years for the Mavs organization.
