Salah Mejri

“The defensive player of the year for the Mavs will be Salah Mejri. His rebounding and defensive play last year hopefully is an indication that he will continue it this year. It certainly helps that Mejri comes from the Spanish league where the positions one through five can play offense. Is defending skills in the Spanish league only laid the foundation to be able to defend in the NBA.”
