Noah Weber of The Smoking Cuban argues that the Dallas Mavericks should target guard Rob Dillingham for their final training camp roster spot following his release by the Charlotte Hornets. Weber notes that Dallas recently signed Seth Lundy to fill one opening but still possesses one available spot ahead of training camp.

According to Weber, Dillingham would supply needed point guard depth behind Kyrie Irving, Sergio De Larrea, and Marcus Sasser, potentially on a two-way deal or standard camp invite. Dillingham averaged 6.3 points and 2.2 assists across stints with Minnesota and Chicago last season.
