Dallas has addressed its 3-point shooting and defensive woes with the potential Sterling Brown signing. The vision for shaping up the bench is apparent in the last two moves. Bullock may not have the ball-handling skills necessary to allow Luka Doncic rest, but a team can never have enough 3-point shooting.
In 30 minutes of action, Bullock shot 41 percent from deep on six attempts for a playoff team. Aside from his perimeter shooting, his 6’6 frame enables a better vantage point over rival offensive players. Operating under Tom Thibeadau’s relentless defensive schemes translate well for a team whose defensive acumen came into question on a nightly basis.
