Mavs 109, Wizards 87

I have really enjoyed the Melli experience so far.  Will he be more than a deep rotation piece in the long run...time will tell.  He has already surpassed my expectations.  It doesn't take much basketball knowledge to see he knows how to play.  How he moves, how he appears to already understand the offensive and defensive sets better than some who have been here all year long, how he sets picks, how he puts his body on people.   etc.  He is just a smart player.

I loved how he took pride in guarding Bertans last night too.  Bertans hit a three or 2 on him and you could see Melli was really upset.  But besides that, he really gave Bertans very limited looks.  Just a smart player.

Good observations. 


It's amazing how he already looks like he's been playing here for years.
