00:00 The Dallas Mavericks are playing at a much faster pace than they were last season.
00:04 It's been very fun to watch.
00:06 Who is your pick for unsung hero of the Mavs right now?
00:09 It's much faster, much more entertaining, right?
00:11 Yeah.
00:12 Luca's amazing.
00:13 Kyrie's starting to hit the three-pointer.
00:14 And it's, you know, last year they just, Luca just pounded the ball 40 times and then decided
00:20 I'm either going to shoot or pass.
00:21 Much more flow.
00:22 So props to Jason Kidd for like being a little flexible and saying let's change styles with
00:27 my personnel.
00:28 I think, not that he's really unsung, but I think Derek Lively II has exceeded expectations,
00:35 right?
00:36 Just the way he runs the floor, he's blocking shots.
00:39 I mean, he's a Tyson Chandler starter kid, which is what they envision maybe two years
00:43 from now.
00:44 He's already showing flashes of that.
00:46 So I think that-
00:47 As a rookie, you're just trying to find the bathroom, let alone figure out how to contribute
00:51 to your team and he's doing that.
00:52 He's doing that and of course he's got to stay out of foul trouble, which all rookies
00:56 have that problem.
00:57 But I think if the Mavericks were worried, I think they'd get on their first round pick,
01:01 which was, that was step number one this year.
01:03 That is step number one.
01:04 We'll see where it goes from here.
