## Resource

Dallas Mavericks are locked in an unexpected battle for backup point guard duties this summer, with Ryan Nembhard and rookie Sergio De Larrea both vying for minutes. Nembhard, entering his second NBA season, delivered a standout Summer League performance with a double-double and has already secured his team option. De Larrea, a journeyman traded from the Lakers to the Knicks before landing in Dallas, impressed with his playmaking and off-ball IQ despite a rough shooting debut. While Nembhard brings seasoned point guard experience, De Larrea offers a taller, more versatile style with room to grow. Both are expected to see significant time as the Mavs continue their Summer League run, setting the stage for a fascinating showdown as Dallas builds depth and flexibility around Kyrie Irving.
