SALTY DOG
NBA ROLE: CREATIVE SCORING POINT
The unsung hero of Dallas’s 2011 NBA Finals victory, JJ Barea is still getting into the lane, droppin’ dimes and lifting ‘measure-up’ threes from straightaway (in limited action); the craftiest of Dallas’s PG conglomerate, Barea is a great distributor – excellent lob server, PnR disher; when given enough opportunity, JJ is the type of speedy, change of pace back that gives every team something to think about; loves creating action: slips in for giant killers, hits open teammates; forever lives in Mavs’ lore after ripping the hearts outta Miami en route to one of the greatest Finals upsets in history
