Mavericks' Diop taking a shot at creating offense
DeSagana Diop came to the desert to iron out his shot. He’s launched jumpers from the baseline, the top of the circle, the elbow, below the free-throw line, and every now and then, even a little hook.
Of 19 shots he put up in the first four games, two — two — went down.
Mavericks coach Avery Johnson wanted more.
“I would love for him to be 3-for-40,” Johnson said in all seriousness. “He’s passed up too many shots. I need more attempts.”
Said Diop: “He told me he wants me to shoot every time I touch it.”

He is young at 25. I love his defense.
