The Dallas Mavericks were adamant that they would not include rookie point guard Rodrigue Beaubois in any trade offers last week. Beaubois has played in 35 games (13 starts) for the Mavericks this season and he is averaging 10.9 minutes, 5.1 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. Beaubois will likely be the Mavericks’ next starting point guard after Jason Kidd hangs up the sneakers but that won’t likely be for a little while.

The Mavericks really like rookie PG Rodrigue Beaubois but he is buried on the depth chart right now. He has played in 20 games (13 starts) for the Mavericks this year and he is averaging 11.9 minutes, 5.5 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. Beaubois is also shooting the lights out so far this season hitting 51.1% of his shots from the floor. He will likely have a much bigger role down the road for the Mavericks but he has got to be a good sport and bide his time.

With Josh Howard out of action until likely some time in December the Mavericks could turn to rookie 21-year old guard Rodrigue Beaubois to replace him in the starting lineup. Beaubois has played in 5 games (2 starts) for the Mavericks so far this season and he is averaging 7.6 minutes, 5.4 points, 0.4 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. He is shooting a solid 52.6% from the floor so far this season and that has to excite the front office of the Mavericks. With Jose Juan Barea and Jason Terry coming off the bench for the Mavericks look for Beaubois to not get big time minutes even if he starts for the Mavericks while Howard is out of action. Still, it will be a good experience for Beaubois if he starts for a while for the Mavericks.

The Mavericks generally don’t use rookies much and that hasn’t changed this season. He has only played in 2 games this season for the Mavericks and he is averaging 2.5 minutes, 1.0 point and 1.0 rebound. He has only hit 1 of 2 shots from the floor this season. The Mavs likely picked Fazekas with an eye on the future.

Rookie forward Reyshawn Terry has decided to play in Greece for the 2007-08 season. He was going to have a hard time making a loaded Mavericks’ roster anyway so this is a good move for him. He has a lot to work on his game to get him ready to compete in the NBA and by going to Greece he will get the playing time that he needs to get better. He will likely return at some point in the future to play for the Mavericks.
