Marcelo Huertas, who has Dallas ties, is a dark horse candidate the Mavericks should consider at point guard.
In the fall of 2000, a skinny, 5'11" Brazilian exchange student walked into the gym of the only high school in Coppell, a small suburb outside of Dallas, Texas. Then head coach Brad Chasteen had agreed to meet young man, but with his team all but set, did not have high expectations. His first play in a pick-up game with varsity and junior varsity players, Marcelo Huertas threw a 60 foot no-look bounce pass across the court which led to a lay up.
