The Dallas Mavericks have been pretty active this offseason. Unlike last summer, they aren’t relying on young players to fortify their roster. Nonetheless, they did add a 2024 NBA Draft prospect. Joining in the French wave, Dallas traded No. 58 pick Ariel Hukporti for No. 51 pick Melvin Ajinça. A cousin of former NBA center Alexis Ajinça, who played for the Mavs for 10 games in 2010-11, the 20-year-old is an offensive-minded small forward with an outstanding build. As he made 35.7 percent of his 3s with Saint-Quentin Basketball last season, he may have a smoother transition to the NBA than 2023 No. 24 pick Olivier Maxence-Prosper.
