MAVS NEWS:

I see your position, I do. I don’t want to be dismissive. I just see it way differently. Against folks in summer league he was just a guy (JAG). He’s our guy, so we’re hyper focused on what he did or didn’t do in each game. But if you asked any non-Mavs fan what they though of Ishchenko they’d say: “who”?

I don't think it was just Mavs fans.  Yes fans tend to go overboard just as much they tend to be hypercritical of their own players very soon.

I like Seva a lot because of his height and versatility.  The SL games to me were worth watching because of Seva and Serg , their heights and their ability to do so many different things on the court.  I never got a feel of watching their games and thinking of them as JAGs.  The only thing I could think of was that if they were able to hit their jumpers more consistently, the Mavs just hit a couple of home runs, because of everything else they were bringing to the table.
