You might've noticed that I skipped the first two games of the Mavs Summer League and started with the 3rd game, this is simply because the first two games made me cry, that is an exaggeration, sort of.
First off the Boys 88-74 win over the Wolves doesn't sound too impressive, but the game wasn't always that close. especially not in the 1st half, The Mavs outscored the Wolves 48 to 30.
All of the guys are looked much more relaxed on the court, but this game was won mainly by the bench scoring over more than 50 points!
Reyshawn Terry put doubts about his performance to bed Monday night, stepping in from the bench and drilling in 15 pts and 4 rebounds, pales in comparison to Eric Gordon's performance the other day, but this was no one man show!
The biggest, and best unexpected surprise came from Jajuan (pronounced Joo-Wan) Smith, Exploding for 19 pts in 18 minutes, shooting 4-6 from downtown!
By the way, Shan Foster has game! before we were stuck having to just take Carlisle, Cuban, and Nelson on their word about Foster, but Monday he made me a believer.
when I describe him, the name Brandon Bass usually comes up, but this kid is making a name for himself, scoring 17 pts, and looking good doing it! no one is for certain what's going to happen with the last 1 or 2 spots left on the Mavs squad, but there is no way that Foster doesn't get one of those, having been pretty consistent thus far, hopefully he keeps it up, and carries it into the big boy league.
"Chuckie" Rhodes, I won't lie, I want to see this guy on the court with J-Kidd and The Big German! Rhodes is a beast, with a large body. for the past 3 games he has been a real eye opener.
Currently the Mavs roster is set at 14, but the Mavs (just like the defenders.) better make some room for the big nightmare himself Charles Rhodes.
That's right Shaq, move out the way, or Chuckie will dunk your hand off!!...
That too is an exaggeration, but with his ability to play back up for Dirk and Bass or even Damp and Diop (in special cases) Rhodes is a keeper averaging around 13 pts a game.
Ronnie Seibutis got a chance to start and had a solid game with 9 points, 2 rebs, 2 assists, and a steal which is better than Keith Mcleod did. I wish the Mavs would find some room for this guy and Reyshawn Terry already, whatever their doing overseas can be done here, and they can't be any worse than some of the dead weight that the Mavericks had on the roster last season.
Honorable Mentions: Pape Sow, Derrick Low , Aaron Miles, and Reggie Williams.
Dishonorable Mentions: Keith Mcleod and James Singleton.
More on these 6 guys next time.
-Cheers!

Ya, what are the mavs brass thinking about singleton and mcleod?? Hopefully they don't have binding season contracts.
If there were/are 2 positions to fill on the Mavs roster (this could change with trades or if the above guys only have summer contracts or whatever)
then I would add Shan Foster and Rhodes.
I'd have to agree... I can't wait to see tonight's game though so that I can get a better read on some of the other guys.
