Every NBA division’s most interesting rookie in 2015-16

Southwest Division

Justin Anderson, Dallas Mavericks: Dallas wasn’t going to enter a bidding war for Monta Ellis, so the Mavericks picked up Anderson in the draft. Then, Al-Farouq Aminu then bolted in free agency, which officially forced Anderson into the rotation. The Virginia product connected on 45.2 percent of his triples, racked up a 123.5 offensive rating and sported an 89.4 defensive clip. Is Anderson ready for the division that sent all five franchises to the postseason last year? We can’t wait to find out.
