Contract Value Index (CVI)
Ryan Nembhard's promotion from a two-way contract to a standard deal worth $322K AAV earns an A+ CVI, representing exceptional value for a developing point guard who's already contributing meaningful minutes. The 23-year-old rookie is averaging 6.4 points and 4.9 assists across 51 games — solid production for a player earning near-minimum salary while Dallas evaluates his long-term potential. At this price point, Nembhard provides elite cost efficiency for a backup point guard role, especially considering the Mavericks just released veteran Tyus Jones to create this roster spot. The organization's willingness to convert him from two-way status signals genuine belief in his developmental trajectory, even as his C performance grade indicates he's still raw and inconsistent. With Dallas appearing to prioritize younger talent evaluation based on recent roster moves, Nembhard's contract represents a shrewd low-risk investment that could pay massive dividends if his playmaking skills continue developing. The one-year term keeps the Mavericks flexible while giving Nembhard a platform to prove he belongs in their future plans.
Performance Analysis
Ryan Nembhard earns a C Performance grade — solid for a rookie, with room to grow into a larger role. Through 50 games, Ryan is contributing 6.4 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game in his role. Ryan's strongest area is APG at 4.9, which compares favorably to the point guard median of 4.0. The biggest area for growth is RPG at 1.9 (point guard median: 5.0). Among 93 NBA point guards graded this season, Ryan ranks 45th. At 23, Ryan is still developing. The production should improve as he gains experience and a larger role with the Dallas Mavericks.
