Jazian Gortman, who is competing for a contract, was a standout on both ends of the floor against the Grizzlies, finishing with 20 points and 4 steals. Kidd took notice of Gortman’s toughness and praised his fearless approach. With the Mavericks having an open two-way slot, Gortman is building a strong case to earn it, between his impressive preseason performance and strong play at Summer League. “Gortman’s tough. I loved what he did tonight. He shot the ball well, played aggressively, and kept us organized,” Kidd explained. “He’s not scared—that’s what you need. The last two-way spot is going to be interesting to see who we go with.” -via Dallas Hoops Journal / October 9, 2024
