Guessing Cain's got a pretty good shot at a standard contract once the Heat complete the Lillard deal. Sounds to me like the organization is giving him a chance to win a roster spot.

Podziemski is a heckuva player, aina?

"heckuva" is the new "traditional."

[Skatastrophy]

17 points
10 rebounds
3 assists
1 steal

for OMax in an overtime win. He looked great.

Often matched up with Brandin Podziemski who finish 1-10 with 5 points.

Mavs fans gushing about OMax. I'm happy that they're happy https://www.reddit.com/r/Mavericks/comments/14y5dnt/mavsmuse_omax_prosper_today_17_pts_10_reb_3_ast_1/

One of the comments:

"Pretty sure this guy pump fakes on every drive to basket"

Yep. At least he's not falling down though...

The pump fake is as central to the game as the mid-range jumper.

So happy to see Omax prospering in Summer League. Gives him some confidence when he goes to training camp.

JB won't like this comment:
Maxi would be the perfect 5th guy there for some weakside shot blocking

[rocket surgeon]

  didn't they pick omax to fill the void left by porzingis

[withoutbias]

Yes.  They picked him to replace a guy who wasn't on their roster last year.

[rocket surgeon]

Yes.  They picked him to replace a guy who wasn't on their roster last year.

  the lanky 3 point shooter they missed last year probably cost them a shot at the playoffs

BAM.

[tower912]

I don't think he was playing.

[JWags85]

DJ Carton playing for the TWolves in Summer League.  Looks really good.  Would not be surprised to see him get a shot in the next season or two.  Putting up good numbers in the G League and certainly looks the part. Athleticism is still unreal, distribution and vision is good, and he's really quick on D.

[GB Warrior]

BAM.

No, that's Jamal Cain

Just had to grow up a bit.

ESPN highlighted this dunk from yesterday's game. Looks fairly routine on first glance, but watch the replays. He explodes to the hoop and throws it down despite taking a lot of contact.

Same stuff he did at MU.

I used to love the fake-handoff-go-in-for-the-poster-dunk play Carton was able to run surprisingly often.

I'd have enjoyed seeing DJ in Shaka's offense and defense, but oh well. Can't blame a kid for wanting to take a shot at his dream.
