By Kohl Rast
The Dallas Mavericks will be facing off against Croatia, one of the international teams involved in the Las Vegas Summer League, tomorrow. Croatia is 0-3 so far in the summer league while the Mavs currently sit at 2-1.
The Las Vegas Summer League has started off well for the Dallas Mavericks who have been led by the play of Cameron Payne, Daryl Macon and Josh Reaves. After defeating the Brooklyn Nets and Houston Rockets on back-to-back nights, the Mavs fell in a comeback effort from the Sacramento Kings, led by former college standout, Kyle Guy.
Dallas has a chance to continue a solid summer performance today as they face the Croatian team which has struggled facing the NBA/G-League talent they have been facing. Croatia has been led mostly by the play of Zeljko Sakic who is averaging around 11 points and 7 rebounds per game so far.
Despite some good play at times, the Croatian team has been unable to keep up with their opponents so far, losing by an average of about 13 points per game. The Mavs, meanwhile, have a point differential of +32 through three games.

Storyline to follow: Josh Reaves’ impressive play
Despite going undrafted, Josh Reaves has been an impressive player for the Dallas Mavericks so far this summer. He was picked up by the Mavs after the draft to be a defensive presence, but his scoring has been better than expected so far. He had a rough showing on the first night, but has combined for 31 points on 5-12 shooting from beyond the arc in the past two games.
Reaves has been a reliable player on the court, making good passes, grabbing rebounds and playing tight perimeter defense. He has definitely made an impression so far this summer and will continue to work as he pushes for a G-League spot and potential NBA roster spot going forward.
Tune in this afternoon to see the Dallas Mavericks summer league team take on the Croatian team. Dallas looks to move forward to an impressive 3-1 record, which will put them in good position going forward.
