“This one is surprising. But I see an X-Factor for the Mavericks being Jameel Warney. I love this kid. I started watching him in College at Stony Brook. He was an absolute animal. I told people I think this guy can be a star for a long time. I’m so glad Dallas gave him a contract and I pray he makes the team. It’s a long shot for this question but I went with him because of the part that said someone no one would expect to be a factor. The scary thing here is if Carlisle will actually let him play. If he does, I know he won’t regret it.”
