Summer League is finally upon us here in Las Vegas and the Dallas Mavericks are finally playing basketball for the first time since losing in five games to the Houston Rockets. Of course, it's not the Mavericks you know, rather it's an assembled squad of rookies, journeymen, and undrafted players looking to make their mark.
The Mavericks fell 90-86 in their opening game, losing to the New Orleans Pelicans after rallying late. Rookie Justin Anderson was the high point man for Dallas, scoring 23 points while also grabbing 7 rebounds. Second year forward Dwight Powell also looked great, scoring 18 and grabbing a team high 13 rebounds.
