meanwhile scrub Mahinmi is playing 20 mn per game with Dallas

I'm in Dallas now and get to see a lot of their games. Mahinmi is really coming along with increasing minutes. He's averaging 20 minutes per game this season, shooting 70% with 8ppg and 5rpg.

His old problem with fouls seems to be largely over as he seems to have settled down on the court now. I think he used to get too excited and wanted to show his stuff too much when he did get a few minutes. He'll still get a foul or two when trying to block a shot or do too much, but at least he's trying on defense.

Sometimes you just need minutes to develop a player.
