I've been a fan of Naji's since his days at Xavier - The Dallas fans are going to love this guy, he's a fan favorite wherever he goes. He's relentless on D and is a deft passer on O. I think he's strongest offensively when driving to the hoop because he can slash and score, but he always quick with the extra pass option. On top of that he's a great teammate with tons of positive energy. Just watch, he's a great catch for Dallas

He is long, has really active hands and feet, great defensive motor and versatility to guard 1~4. Offensively his shooting looks sound, he can attack the close-out and has some court vision. At 26 years old and a friendly contract, he seems to be a really great bargain pick-up. A versatile defensive specialist who seems to be Good-At-Doing-Basketball-Things™. Not gonna lie, I'm gonna miss those insane lobs to DJJ, but he seems like a good replacement. He looks stronger and more fundamentally sound overall.

Naji is an upgrade it appears. Just a more versatile defender and “perhaps” a better three point shooter. We will see but he was terrific last year. We will better be able to defend Tatum/Brown type wings. At least for a year we have Grimes, who is a down and dirty point defender we haven’t had in awhile. Looks good. We are stacked. Like the entire west it appears. BTW terrific work Hank. You are truly the best at this. Never knew I just preferred to watch POSITIVE Mavs highlights until you started making videos. I guess it’s in the word HIGH LIGHTS.

DJJ was overrated to be honest 2 things he clearly had was defense and a lob threat but his shooting improved because of the open looks he was able to get off of Luka and kyrie… same with exum is not that his 3pt shot improved that much it is still slow and he needs to set it up just like DJJ but the shots are so open that they can take their time shooting it just like a practice shot. PJ too although I heard he is fundamentally tweaking the way he sets up his shot, he is too slow and when properly contested he fails, we have to take into consideration that some of these guys, especially on the perimeter, are feeding off of luka double teams and blitz. Same with the centers the way Luka controls drop coverages makes them almost beat Wilts consecutive FG record aka Daniel Gafford. The Mavs have to take this into consideration and although some fans might fall for the hype train some of these guys ain’t worth the money, the same happened with some of lebron’s teammates where people thought they were good and the moment some other team overpaid them they showed their true colors.

I said last year the pelicans had 4 players teams would love to have on their roster. Two of them are now on different rosters (Naji and Dyson). Herb and Trey are the other two. Trey is basically an athletic 6’8 klay Thompson and herb is this generations Scottie Pippen. If I’m the pelicans my starting lineup is Murray, Herb, Trey, Zion, ???… don’t know what they’re doing about paint defense… should’ve made a play on Nic Claxton, Jarrett Allen or even bol bol to at least have some height to change shots and matchup with Wemby.
