Mavs sign Gerald Green to 1 yr contract

[Adam Mac]

Mavricks signed high school stud here. He has not done much in the NBA but I think this is a good sign by Dallas

Lots of upside here

[Matt McGuire]

5.1 ppg last year. Lots of upside, lots of no production too.

Still he is only 22 years old and he can dunk.

Understatement of the year

2 points is 2 points in a game. 48 mins does not equal a dunk contest.

No scout is going to say, "Wow look at his dunking ability." it is the athleticism that is intriguing. But if it can't be applied to defense, ball handling, mid range offense, distribution, then it is very much worthless.

This guy really isn't even worth discussing. I highly doubt he will play a big role for the Mavericks.

The Mavs also signed DeSanga Diop to ridiculous contract. 5-yr 36 million or something like that. For a defensive specialist with no offensive ability at all.

[Adam Mac]

I don't think Diop is as "top priority" as the Mavs make him out to be

Oh no doubt lol.. I was talking about when you said "he can dunk" as the understatement. Unbelievable dunker and athlete, hopefully he develops his game. He's only 22 but he's got to get on the court sometime soon.

He could score moer points if he just dunked from behind the 3 pt line but i think he can be a pretty good player if he played a little "D" and wasn't so selfish

Green is uber-athletic, a strong driver, and good mid range shooter. Get him outside 15 feet and he struggles. He also tends to have problems stopping players off the dribble.
