Enrique Freeman went to Indiana at #50.

Melvin Ajinca went to New York at #51, but he's being traded to Dallas.

Is this guy any good?

I guess we will just stash him?

Melvin Ajinca is the second Ajinca in his family line to play for the Mavs. One of the simplest roles of any player in the Draft: True 3&D without much outside of those boundaries in the best way

Nephew of Alexi Ajinca

See, the media was focused on Bronny, but Mavs had a plan to bring Alexis Ajinca out of retirement to play with his son the whole time.

This was my initial question, too.

Better than Bronny!

Melvin Ajinca, whom the Mavericks are acquiring from the Knicks wirh the 51st pick is the cousin of former Mavs C Alexis Ajinca, who spent part of the 2011 title season in Dallas

Not a big fan of player comps but in the best ways there's a lot of Reggie Bullock to Melvin Ajinca. Really good get in the 2nd round for a player that has an easy path to playing rotation minutes in the near future as a depth wing #MFFL

im wondering what NY want from us though?

Yeah, I'm going to be pissed if this was expensive.

Yeah, I'm going to be pissed if this was expensive.

Me too, if it was more than cash and optionally #58

"Cash considerations" have made some noise today, so let's hope the Adelsons just broke off a few hundred K to move up a little.

[LukaMVP]

cash ain't no issue. I guess NY would demand an extra second round pick. NY can't get bored of fleecing us. why can't they find themselves another victim target for a change?

Ulrich Chomche to Toronto.


I swear Ujiri just picks the most raw guys

New York is selecting Ariel Hukporti at No. 58, sources say. https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1jMJgmBqoDMKL

So it was 51 for 58
