Dorian Finney-Smith is a professional basketball player playing power forward and small forward for the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA. Even though he went undrafted in the 2016 NBA Draft, he was signed by the Dallas Mavericks and got the opportunity to showcase his skill in the summer league, where his performance truly impressed the Mavs. As a member of the team, he has developed into a good 3-point shooter, defender and rebounder and also has developed decent offensive abilities on the court. He was traded to the Brooklyn Nets in 2023 in addition to an unprotected first round pick in 2029 and second round picks in 2027 and 2029 in exchange for Kyrie Irving and Markieff Morris.

In the 2022/23 season Smith played 66 games (Mavs & Nets combined), averaging 8.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.6 blocks per game on 39.1% shooting from the field, including 33.7% from deep. He is a great addition for the Nets because of his basketball skills on both sides of the court and he can be a reliable wing for the team.
