He could contribute to a championship team, but he would have to completely revamp the way he plays. Nash off the bench to primarily shoot 3s would be a pretty cool move.
I heard that a few years ago also, altho someone else told me he was closer to 6'10.

tbh we need melo after all the swole damage he has done, amirite Greg n renaldo
yeah because by that logic if we get anyone else we're liable to lose by 10+ every game, amirite MD?
lol whatever you say scrah, even Matty c would be alright, amirite
Curious as to why people keep saying this.
It wasn't a mistake at all to let Nash go. We went to the Finals two years later while Nash has yet to go to the Finals. With no interior big men inside we would just continue to be the _Allas Mavericks under _On Nelson. No way we beat the Spurs in 06 with Nash.
Sure Nash got an MVP later (a lot of it due to D'Antoni's system) but his teams always faced the same fate the Mavs did due to his lack of D
He looks good tonight and has that funky Manu type of style with more speed and long arms like Hill - whatever he turns ought to be he is a valuable addition to the Mavs.
beabouis tonight looked like hes gonna be an nba bust.
Uh he played fine. Just needs to work on his defense. He is too predictable on the way he defends at the moment. Players can just lean into him and draw a foul as he is always pressing.
He is a unusual looking player that I can see when he is hot will be a pretty good player but his movements on the court look Splitter like on defense without the size or even the effort. Give him one year but honestly per Secko as I posted earlier hold the acclaim until he has a larger body of work.
His lateral movement looks suspect and he can't fight through picks. I couldn't remember howany times he got destroyed by the pick and roll. I think it causes a lot of the fouls he cOmmits because of how he is behind the offensI've player after the pick
Clearly has work to do on the defensive end.... I think some of last night was the fact that he was on a B2B after being out for 6 months, but 5 fouls in 19 minutes can't happen.
He's obviously going to have his ups and downs and the Mavs know this, the FO has annointed this kid as the "future of the franchise."....Teams don't go around labeling players their "future" unless they're pretty damn confident in the guy. He's already in the starting line up. Even through his atrocious D last night, you could see obvious potential on offense.
He needs to learn to play more within the system/gameplan and become more fluid out there overall (comes with experience).... but I really do think he has all star potential. Once he learns to control himself a bit more and once he begins averaging 30 + mins, he could potentially be a 20ppg player. And by playoff time, I think he will be averaging 25-30 mpg.
PG is pretty much the last spot u need a great defender. the lakers have won back to back les with derek ing fisher
This is what I think will hold him back, he needs to bulk up a bit in the offseason. He's got a great offensive skillset but could really do with hitting the gym.
Agreed, two of his fouls (at least if i remember correctly) last night actually came on a pick. He's got work to do in that area. He bulked up over the summer but apparently lost most of it after being out for so long.
Roddy also has to get his legs back, he told a reporter that his legs still weren't "into it" after his debut and last night he was "totally gassed,".... so he has a ways to go before his physical conditioning is back to par.
i see alot of excuses for this kid. the kid has had plenty of time to work on his defense. by the way you cant teach defense its something you wanna go out and do on the court. plus he was having the same lapses last year when he was out on the court looking lost and dumb. he's also a momentum and offense killer when he goes out and shoots right away when the ball is in his hands. how many times did roddy take a bad shot last night? the guy is a ball hogg chucker. & he isnt no pg he just goes out there and dribbles the ball away and commits a dumb turnover. i dont think he'll ever be a good defensive player & i dont see rick playing him much in the playoffs bc hes just too dumb and commits to many dumb fouls and has to many turnovers.
Roddy is an impact player on a very good team, most spurs fans have actually come around recently..... except for the hopeless homers. Quite obvious he's a talent.... Does posing as a Mav fan somehow make you believe the stupid being spewed?
He will indeed play in the playoffs and you'll your pants every time he touches the ball.... again.
roddy is okay for like a 10-12 min spark plug type of guy but any more than that he gets exposed on defense.
I think he is much better than that. Please don't tell me you see Barea doing a better job? Yeah JJ is on a good streak. Yeah he plays his ass off. That is nice and all, but I would rather have Roddy out there. Roddy's talent is miles ahead of JJ's.
Give it a few weeks before you start writing him off. He hasn't played in months, but you are looking for any opportunity to bash him. That tells me you are one of the following:
1.) A troll
2.) A JJ Barea fan

dude get over it not every mavs fan sucks on french penis.
beabouis has had a year and a half to work on his defense if he cant get it by. now he aint never getting it. the dude cant even play zone prob one of the easiest defenses to learn in the entire nba.
sorry but roddy is only good for a quick spark on offense when the mavs are down by whole lot. if you play him longer than 1-12 minutes his dumb bball iq will get exposed on defense.
yup, its confirmed. this is a troll.
yeah im a troll bc i dont suck on french balls or french penis's. GTFO of here!!!!
& zone is the easiest defense to learn and roddy beabouis is too dumb to learn it lol.
look i love the kid roddy and wish him well but i dont see rick playing him once the playoffs start bc his dumb b-ball iq is at a gereald green level right now. 30 games isnt long enough for him to fix that. this will end up being a wasted year for beabouis poor kid.
