Hardy, Lively II, Keys Impress in Second Preseason Game
Prospect Max Prosper Makes Solid First Impression
The Dallas Mavericks dropped their second preseason game to the Memphis Grizzlies 101-98 on Thursday night. Despite the loss, several players stood out for the Mavericks, including second-year guard Jaden Hardy, rookie first-round pick Dereck Lively II, and undrafted rookie Braxton Keys.
Hardy led the Mavericks in scoring with 16 points on 6-of-15 shooting. He also added 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Lively II had a solid performance with 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Keys made the most of his opportunity, scoring 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting and grabbing 5 rebounds.
Rookie first-round pick Olivier-Maxence Prosper struggled in his first NBA action, shooting 0-for-7 from the field and finishing with 2 points. However, he did show some flashes of his potential with 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.
The Mavericks will look to bounce back from their loss when they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night.
