Okay, his hand, defensive mind, hustle is real 😮. Good shooting technically nice cut and calmly reading court that's nice. Maybe it's real upgrade DJJ. I love DJJ but I really like this man
i was thinking the same thing bro i swear to god everytime he played dallas he was always the one giving us the work im so glad they signed him dude this is a WIN NEXT KLAY
@@F2pPlayerKing Yes, I want Klay too. I wrote to Nico after lose final game 1 😆. Klay will be perfect fit for team. He knows winner aura and how to made impactful shoot. Last trade lane and this summer off-season give me shivers since 2004, 2006 and 2011 😆. I believe next 10 years is ours 🤞🏼
Man I’m going to miss him on my pels team .. he brings the energy every night , you know what you goin to get every night he plays .. a true role player that know how to make winning plays
I didn't know he had playmaking skills like that. If his shooting is just decent, we're going to love him because the rest of his game is really well rounded.
i ain't never seen djj pass like that lol... + for what i've seen he punishes switches, unlike Derrick, of he sees a small guy on him HE GOES TO WORK. love djj and we gon feel his loss but naji CAN be better than him
@@macmac4657not really. Quentin grimes is not good and klay can’t play defense worth a dam anymore and yall startin 5 consists of 3 defensive liabilities.
@@marcusfrm6263 klay is not borderline defensive team anymore, but he aint a liability, hes a decent/good defender. The only problem is we dont have a poa defender for the starting lineup, but thats a problem for Kidd to figure out
No its because he was slightly cheaper and is more well rounded than djj. also locked up many superstars/stars this sesson so he can come up big when needed and knocks down more 3’s
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
@@MaFiaMediaHD I personally like the lineup of Luka/Kyrie/Klay/Naji/Lively much more! Naji can shoot the three, handle the ball, as well as pass the ball faaaaar better than PJ.
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.
When this guy gave us hell and when I saw him on the nuggets, I always thought it would be nice to have him. then this happens! Dallas polishing their daggers for this season. Cant wait to see what happens next
Thanks Panda! I know they are just highlights, but his passing, handles, and finishes are impressive. We may (or may not) lose defense by losing F55, but it looks like we gain offense.
@@mauricestephens4130 bro what?🤣you’re comparing a team that has years of continuity vs that of a team who was together for half a season AND comparing GMs for it. Go watch ESPN🤡
I really like him already. He's like a wing version of Dlive and Gafford, energy and hustle guy have a quick release shot, decent ball handling and playmaking that I think better than DJJ. I really hope him and Grimes will be a great players for the Mavs. Good job Nico.
Undrafted out of Xavier...lost track of him as a two-way player but as Zion signed with Pels, got to see some games. He is bigger than Jones and think he brings a little attitude and provides a different "type" of flexibility during late quarter substitutions. Good for Naji. Go X.
I'm gonna trust Nico on this one even tho I wish DJJ hadn't changed agent. He hasn't made even one move on the roster that had me shout "WTF" like Donnie did every summer.
he is just straight up good and consistent role player and perfect for the Mavs. one of my favorite role players for years now, i'm so glad he is in Dallas now☺️
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.
Okay yeah DJJ will always have my respect but Naji got my hopes up right now. Seems like his play style is exactly what we needed. Gonna be a fun year with the shooting, just need to get another stretch big with rebounding
Get pick up by us (Mavs) I was kinda skeletal on losing DJJ but with the addition of Marshall and Thompson we have two 3 and D guys. We’re definitely one of the winners in free agency.
How old is he? bro has a decent bag that running floater looks deadly I can’t lie. His shooting form is great no crazy wasted motion. passing look decisive and quick. He looks like a starter here! Let’s move Josh Green now.asap.
I likes this I still feel like we need a scorer on the bench tho cause in the finals every time luka and kyrie sat down we forget how to play basketball
Luka made DJJ and turned into his peak great role player, Naji is coming to Dallas in a form which is already good role player, with luka, kyrie, klay he will be in a very special groove if he doesn't even improve and does only the shit he was doing last year
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.
He looks good, there are similarities definitely between him and DJJ, although his offensive bag looks deeper and he looks to be a better passer. He should fit in nicely, especially with his activity on the floor.
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.

Seeing him lock down SGA and Jdub is huge. We’re gonna need that

Perfect pick up.
The passing... Oh my goodness... the work Nico has done so far this offseason...
even if the mavs doesn't get Klay, i believe that mavs will pursue three point shooters, Grimes, Marshall is just the start
We got Klay! I think he’s gonna fit great for what we need out of him.
@@MaFiaMediaHD I personally like the lineup of Luka/Kyrie/Klay/Naji/Lively much more! Naji can shoot the three, handle the ball, as well as pass the ball faaaaar better than PJ.

i wasn’t too familiar with his game, thanks panda
That strip on Tatum has me thinking revenge. Sweet, cold bluded revenge
Better and every way can you imagine the lane side defense with Gafford oh my!,,🦏
✨ imagining already
Naji and gafford =🛡️ _____🦏 💨
Other than insane athletism yea he looks better than djj

Great selection of plays chose. Love how you started off with defense specifically as that's what we lost in DJJ. EXCELLENT VIDEO
Loving these highlights against playoff teams 🤤
He's better than PJ and DJJ when it comes on creating his own shots. Definitely an upgrade!
Man this brotha can flat out ball lol
When this guy gave us hell and when I saw him on the nuggets, I always thought it would be nice to have him. then this happens! Dallas polishing their daggers for this season. Cant wait to see what happens next

Judging by the highlights He’s a beast a gritty type player And can create he definitely is a upgrade from DJJ hood work NICO #MFFL💙🤞🏽
No hesitation, smart, determined. Reminds me of PJ and Luka
6:10 😮 ..I seen enough welcome to the Mavs 😂
This man went off in the playoffs
his instinct on when to attack on defense is incredible
his body has no slow twitch muscle fibers. he is 100% composed of fast twitch type 2 muscle fibers
I loved DJJ but I'm really excited about Naji!
I really like him already. He's like a wing version of Dlive and Gafford, energy and hustle guy have a quick release shot, decent ball handling and playmaking that I think better than DJJ. I really hope him and Grimes will be a great players for the Mavs. Good job Nico.
OMG DUDEEEEE im happy we got him ...i like him more then jones he is bigger ...and plays better defense
Wow, I think we’re closer to the champ!
Naji should have been the focus from the beginning!Dude is Swiss Army knife
Klay, Marshall, Grimes -- very good offseason for the Mavs!
Thanks Panda! I wasn't familiar with his game. I am so hyped. Welcome to Dallas, Naji!

Naji is definitely like that. He’s the knife 🔪 😈
IN NICO WE TRUST
And I love how some highlights were vs Kristaps and Boston we got sum for that ass.
He can defend and make plays. Great pick
I'm gonna trust Nico on this one even tho I wish DJJ hadn't changed agent. He hasn't made even one move on the roster that had me shout "WTF" like Donnie did every summer.

Reminds me alot of Jrue Holiday.

Good moves Dallas to get marshall💪
I can see Marshall and Grimes taking their games to the next level with the Mavs. Sad to see DJJ go though. Klay Thompson for MLE get it done Nico
Naji got the mle.
Klay is a s&t
We looking real good already baby. Lets go home team 💯💯💯💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
