Nicolás Brussino vs Wizards (2017.03.15)


Brussino is 6'8 SG/SF with long arms, excellent passing abilities and great 3 point shooting. Here a must read about Brussino: https://www.mavs.com/nicolas-brussino-showed-2015-16-ready-make-leap-nba/

I really like this kid and don't get why the Mavs got rid of him.

I like him but he was beyond horrible during Summer League.

I don't know much about him but Bud loves a reclamation project and he's cheap and young. Might as well see what he can do.

Slowly, but surely, the roster for the coming season fills in.
Some we know about and some, like this one, we speculate on. Bud takes players
like this and sometimes makes something great.
So many questions we will have until well into the season.
GO ATL HAWKS !!

I don't expect us to start strong. We may lose a ton in November/December. But Dennis and Prince were both good starters last year. Baze finished strong and knows what he's doing. Same with Ersan. And Dedmon is a decent center. So the starting lineup has promise. Add to that Belli, Bembry, Moose, Collins growing into their roles and we could be pretty scrappy in a pretty weak conference.

Looks like Ryan Kelly's replacement. Pretty decent rebounder from the SF position, may help offset boarding issue when Bud goes small with Prince and Ersan/Musky in the frontcourt. Saw an absurd comparison to Manu because of Bud's Spurs tie and sharing Argentinian nationality but we'd be lucky if we get a poor man's Andres Nocioni/Walter Hermann comp.

I watched his 2016-17 highlights and he can pass...funny tho all his passes ended with a Dwight Powell 3...lol

Kid seems to occasionally throw together some solid production.

Should be a solid contributor off the bench this season:



(Especially if we play against Uruguay or VI.)

26/8/8? Yikes! Pretty nice!

Better handle than I thought.
