Mike Curtis: Caleb Martin on how his skillset fits in Dusty May’s offense: “It’s fit well. Just the play style and the confidence he pushes and pours into his guys. He feels like a player to us, the way he comes up with a chip on his shoulder. The way he approaches the game, the habits that he wants to build. He’s seriously trying to progress and get better at things himself. It just radiates to the group and he doesn’t act like he has it all figured out. He’s genuinely learning.”

The Mavericks have several players who could benefit from a boost in their 3-point shooting. Fodor is helping Morez Johnson Jr. develop a wider base and higher release point. He wants Caleb Martin to shoot with decisiveness and speed. He’s also working with Zaccharie Risacher and Naji Marshall, who aims to shoot 45% from three this season, an admirable goal given his career mark of 30%. He’s struggled in his first three games with an early clip of 27.3%, but he’s seen improvement during practices. “He fixed my whole swag,” Marshall said during training camp. “That’s why I’m so confident saying that 45%. That guy is unbelievable. I work with him every day because I found out how much of a GOAT he was. I just appreciate him as well.”
