The Dallas Mavericks lose rookie forward to Greece

Blogged under The Draft Report, Comings & Goings, Bloglockers, Big Mavericks News, Rookie Reports, Front Page by alleyoop on Friday 31 August 2007 at 9:04 am

Rookie forward Reyshawn Terry has decided to play in Greece for the 2007-08 season. He was going to have a hard time making a loaded Mavericks’ roster anyway so this is a good move for him. He has a lot to work on his game to get him ready to compete in the NBA and by going to Greece he will get the playing time that he needs to get better. He will likely return at some point in the future to play for the Mavericks.

The rookies of the Dallas Mavericks earn an Incomplete

It’s hard to give the rookies of the Mavericks a letter grade seeing how they all sat together at the end of the bench. Guard Maurice Ager played in 32 games this season and he only averaged 6.7 minutes, 2.2 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game. Guard Jose Juan Barea played in 33 games this season and he averaged 5.8 minutes, 2.4 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. Forward Pops Mensah-Bonsu played in only 12 games this year and he averaged 2.4 points and 1.8 rebounds per game. It’s uncertain whether or not any of these guys will contribute in the future for the Mavericks because they just didn’t get enough playing time.

The Mavericks don’t use their rookies much

Blogged under Rookie Reports, Front Page by Nothing but Net on Sunday 4 February 2007 at 12:12 am

The Mavericks goal is to win a Championship every season so they tend to play their veterans the whole game. 1st round pick Maurice Ager hasn’t played too well as a rookie. The guard has played in 19 games and he’s averaging 3.7 minutes, 1.3 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.2 assists. He’s also shooting poorly as he’s only hit 30% of his shots from the floor.

Guard Joe Juan Barea has also been awful. He’s played in 12 games and he’s averaging 2.9 minutes, 0.8 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.3 assists. He’s also been horrible at shooting the ball as he’s only hit 23.5% of this shots.

Forward Pops Mensah Bonsu has played in 1 game. He played 3 minutes and collected 1 rebound.

The Mavericks are serious championship contenders, so they don’t have many minutes for rookies. Maurice Ager was the first round pick of the Mavs, but he hasn’t got on the court very much. He has played in 13 games and has averaged 4.7 minutes, 1.7 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game so far this season.

Jose Barea has only played in 6 games and has averaged 2.4 minutes, 0.3 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.3 assists so far this season.

Pops Mensah-Bonsu has only played in one game this season. He played 2.6 minutes and grabbed 1 rebound.

The Mavericks will have to wait awhile to determine whether this was a good draft or not.
