Why Sergio De Larrea is DESTINED to Help the Mavs But Glaring Problems May Delay Him

The Dallas Mavericks kicked off NBA Summer League with a win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Sergio De Larrea's near-record assist night has Mavs fans buzzing about what's next. Could this rookie already be a bigger playmaking piece for Dallas than Cooper Flagg or Kyrie Irving as the Mavericks build out their NBA rotation?

Nick Angstadt breaks down Sergio De Larrea's historic 14-assist performance, examines whether Daniel Gafford's fit next to him could save his roster spot, and digs into new reporting on Tyler Smith's disappearing role. He also covers Kaodirichi Akobundu-Ehiogu's highlight-reel dunks, Vsevolod Ishchenko's two-way case, and Mavs GM Mike Schmitz's reaction from the summer league sideline. What does this crowded two-way battle mean for John Poulakidas, Darin Green Jr., Tobi Lawal, and the rest of the Mavericks' Summer League roster?
