It's great to see the Mavs rookies near the top of a darn fine rookie crop. What a fine job the Mavs scouting dept. did in finding these two gems.

Congrats to the rookies. When all is said and done this season, the most satisfying part of looking back on the year that was for the Mavs may very well be the hope for the future of the franchise afforded by Quis and JHo. It's been a pleasure watching the rooks play this year.

Congratulations to both of them. They deserved it. What a good basketball players they are.
Congratulations also to the Mavericks. The scouts have worked very well. The number 29 and an undrafted player in the second rookie team? If I hear that at the beginning of the season I don't believe it.
And congratulations to all of us. We have enjoyed a lot seeing them.

I think this is something for them to be very proud of. I think this is the best rookie class the NBA has seen in years. A few years ago, the NBA ditched the Rookie Game during the allstar break in favor of a game between first and second year players largely because the talent level wasn't there from year to year. This year, I think you could play such a game. For the first time in many years, the league was filled with productive rookies.
