Great, guys.

You were locked on to Dallas Mavericks. Your team every day. My name is Nick Engstay. Today's today's episode brought to by Fanduel. The biggest stage of world soccer is here. Let there be goals on Fanduil. Visit fandle.com to get started. On today's show, let's talk about the map. Summer League roster. I'm going to go through it from top to bottom. Talk about the guys we already know. Talk about the new guys on it, what their connection is to everybody. We'll also talk about the guys. All four of the Mavs draft picks are going to be playing.

And let's start there and talk about each one of these players because

Masayu Jiri, Mike Schmitz, take over this Mavericks franchise.

They've got all these connections all over the world and their fingerprints are all over

this.

All over all these players.

It is fascinating to see the connections that each one of these guys have to those guys and then Dusty May as well in this. I think that you look at just straight from the top from Surgela de la Rhea, Larry. He won La Liga in the ACB on June 24th. He's going to be coming over to play for the Mavericks. He did an episode yesterday talking about him, how he could fit on the Mabs and all that. But you look at that draft pick, that's a Mike Schmidt's draft pick, right? Like, I think that that is a pick that you can absolutely see Mike Schmitz's fingerprints on where he saw him somewhere in some gym somewhere when he was 16 or 17 or something like that when sir when larry was 16 not not mike schmits if mike schmits was 16 and he saw sergey de la rea he would have been like i don't know 10 or something like that the shooting the passing the connecting i'm very excited to see him play i think he's going to start next to r Nimhard. I think it'll be Ryan Nemhard and Larry

playing in the back court for the two guard spots. And I'm fascinated to see how those guys play off of each other because it's going to be a facsimile of how he and Kyrie are going to play off of each other in a way. You see the positional size that he brings. A clear skill the Mavericks are looking for across a lot of these different guys. A clear skill. You look at what the Mavericks are doing with, you know, with guards, with bringing in Santa Yaldama, with bringing in some of the, you know, with Morass Johnson Jr. the positional size all over the place. I think is something that we look at and you're like, oh yeah, the Mavs, this is what the Mavs are doing. I get it. I understand. And you see that there are other types of skills the Mavericks are really, really keying in on and shooting is definitely one of them. So that's what I'm looking for with Larry. I think that I'm curious to see how he plays. I think the Mabbs may limit his minutes, though. He just played that in that championship game on June 24th. He played that entire Euroleague season, the entire ACB season. So he played what, like 60s, 60s, 70 games or something like that. And now he's coming over. I'm curious to see how many minutes they actually play him be a psycho and just want to play to want to play a ton of minutes and we'll see it is summer league though he was a first round pick you do expect him to play he's coming he came over he signed the deal he's on the roster so you expect him you expect him to play i don't think he's going to be one of these like top picks that you that, you know, Cooper Flag only played two games, then he was done.

And you're like, okay, I think we've seen all we needed to see.

So Larry, I expect him to play. Morris Johnson, Rez, will he be the Mabbs? Will he solely play at center? Because you look at what the Mavericks have done with this roster. And there's really only two other guys that you're like, oh, those are centers.

Those are like definitely centers.

You look at... the Mavericks have done with this roster. And there's really only two other guys that you're like,

oh, those are centers. Those are like definitely centers. You look at Javier Francis from, you know,
