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.
Also interesting that they don't seem to target pure catch-and-shoot guys anymore. They seem to like guys that can put the ball on the floor and put pressure on the rim.
