Last year they picked up Kessler Edwards (former second round pick) and he played well. I believe he is back in the G league but showed that he deserved that spot last year. This year they look like they have done it again with ten day guy Jeremiah Earl. Sticking in the league is another story. Although, if you consistently make good decisions, sometimes one surprises you.
Agreed!
This is the one extremely positive change that I've noticed since Harrison took over from Cuban/Nelson. I don't know if it's his doing directly or not...maybe Finley? Not sure, but it's clear the "type" of young player this organization values has changed since the Dirk era, and I think for the better...though the pendulum might have swung a little too far in the opposite direction, given the lack of shooting and offensive creation on this team. But in general, athletic players seem to be what the Mavs are out there looking for and I'm here for that part of the new Mavs. It's not just the two-ways, either. Donnie Nelson never would've traded for PJW.
