The Dallas Mavericks selected 22-year old power forward Ahmad Nivins with the #56 pick in the NBA Draft. Nivins played in 126 games in his 4 seasons at St. Joseph’s in which he averaged 14.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. Nivins should be able to give the Mavericks solid minutes off the bench in 2009-2010 and maybe much more down the road.

The Mavericks acquired 21-year old shooting guard Rodrique Beaubois last night in a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Beaubois is strictly a offensive minded player. He played in 54 games in three seasons in France and he averaged 7.5 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. Beaubois did shoot 58.8% from the floor in France but he will be a longshot to play a lot of minutes as a rookie as he appears to have a lot to learn yet.

Hassell isn’t much of a shooter however as he has only shot 44.8% from the floor, 32.9% from three point range and 76.6% from the free throw line.

alleyoop — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 14:04:18 +0000

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.
