Nicolas Brussino is Earning a Spot

Nicolas Brussino has now had two very strong games for the Dallas Mavericks in the preseason. In his first game with Dallas, Brussino scored 13 points in 23 minutes, leading the Mavs in scoring after Justin Anderson’s 14.

Brussino has not just been a good scoring threat for Dallas, but he has also looked like an intelligent player while he is on the court. Much like most European players that come to the league, he seems to be basketball ready but his size is not fit for the battle that it is playing in the NBA. If he can pack on some muscle while keeping his shooting stroke, he could be an excellent find for Dallas.

Tonight, Brussino started a little slower and only ended with 5 points, but again, he just looks like he knows what he is doing out on the court. Expect Brussino to be one of the final few fighting for a spot on the Mavericks roster in the next few weeks.
