NBA: Predicting Where The Remaining Restricted Free Agents Will Land
Dwight Powell, Dallas Mavericks
Position: PF
Age: 24
2015-16 Stats: 14.4 minutes, 5.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.3 blocks
It’s hard to believe now that Dwight Powell was just a throw-in for the Mavs in the Rondo deal last season.
While the Mavs moved on from Rondo, they kept Powell and he has become a valued contributor off the bench for a playoff team.
Powell possesses a great amount of athleticism at the PF position, something that has helped him outgrow his draft position of 45th overall draft pick in 2014.
He may not command as much as the others on this list but rest assured, Powell will see a big jump from his last contract that paid him less than $1.5 million over two years.
Prediction: Powell returns to Dallas for four years and $32 million
