This kid looks similar to Bruno Caboclo. Shoots better from 3. If that's the direction that Carlisle is going, then we are in for a run and gun type of system. Luka running the point and being surrounded by 4 guys who can shoot the 3 or drive to the rim on cuts. Just a lot of motion, I would say.

Here's video reference to the kid. He should come really cheap.

I guess there's no use spending $10M a year on Mo Harkless when you can get this kid for the bare minimum. Still a project though.

But that says Cuban is saving up his money for something bigger and not looking to hand out checks left and right.

Seems like a lite version of Finney-Smith. Hes worth a look for at least a Summer Camp invite if nothing else

He will fill the role previously held by Ryan Broekhoff. A youngish foreign player that’s shown promise.

He's bigger. He takes the PF role IMO. Maxi's backup minutes maybe.

He's like a John Collins to a lesser extent. Would also come way cheaper as Collins is said to be searching for a max deal.

Moves like Collins in the pick and roll which is pretty good with Luka around. That slots him at PF in the paint with KP roaming outside. Which is also a plus on fit.

Another thing to take note is Jasiel Rivero also speaks spanish. Same with Luka and KP. I'd like to believe some plays can be called in spanish for those three with the opposing team not knowing what they're running. Another plus.

Probably won't make the team. But I wouldn't say this throws the Mavs out of consideration for a combo forward via the non-taxpayer MLE.

Bring back Broekhoff though. Plz Plz Plz Plz Plz

Return to Dallas Mavericks
