Ryan Nembhard’s Rise to Fame
Undrafted rookie Ryan Nembhard’s stellar play is quickly earning him respect within the Mavericks organization and opening eyes around the NBA.
And Nembhard seemingly is well on his way into forcing the Mavericks into a business decision.
As a player on a two-way contract, Nembhard is limited to being on the active roster for 50 NBA games this season. But he’s already played in 10 and been on the active roster for six others, meaning he has 34 NBA games left.
That’s plenty of time for the Mavericks to find a way to convert his deal to a full NBA contract, despite currently having no open roster spot. It certainly will be something to keep in mind as the Feb. 5 trade deadline nears.
Impressive Performance
After watching Nemhard follow his 28-point, 10-assist, no-turnover performance in Monday night’s win at Denver by scoring 15 points and dealing 13 assists in Wednesday’s home win over Miami, does any fan or media member remotely believe he should remain on a two-way deal?

Nembhard’s Thoughts
“I’ll let my agents and everybody figure that out,” Nembhard said Wednesday night when asked by The Dallas Morning News if he’s giving any thought to the potential business aspect of his standout play. “Obviously that’s there, and obviously I’m on a two-way.
“But at the end of the day, if I go on the court and handle business and do my job at a high level, then that will take care of itself when the time comes.
“So I’m not too concerned about that. I’m just trying to win games and enjoy hooping.”
Smart answer. Much like his play on the court.
