I was a big fan of Mejri too.
Salah isn't as talented offensively as Boban but defensively people forget how he contributed, when he could get minutes. Mejri similar to Boban might have a big game and find himself getting little to no minutes the next game. Centers suffer the matchup fate in the Dallas system, more than any other position.
Mejri, Burke lead Mavericks past Grizzlies 129-127 in OT
Quote:Trey Burke scored the most points for the Dallas Mavericks, but Salah Mejri’s were the most important.
Mejri made the final basket of regulation and scored the first seven points in overtime en route to a career-high 19 as the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 129-127 on Sunday night.
He delivered those nine crucial points in a 2:22 span. Mejri also finished with nine rebounds and a season-best four blocks. His scoring burst early in the extra period was enough that — despite a couple of late rallies — the Grizzlies were unable to overtake Dallas in overtime. Burke finished with 24 points, 14 in the fourth quarter and OT.
