Learn the Name: Rodrigue Beaubois

Here's my first recurring post - Learn the Name. I'll talk a little about a talented but unheralded player and why you should get to know them a bit better. First up - Rodrigue Beaubois.

Roddy Buckets showing off the ups.

Now Rodrigue is getting noticed a bunch after his 40-point game off the bench, but I've been talking about this guy since the start of the year. This guy has blazing speed, almost a 40-inch vertical and a great shooting touch, all while keeping his head on straight and motivated throughout his rookie season. He's got a great set of mentors in Jason Kidd and Jason Terry, and the Mavs have him on a cheap rookie contract for the next three years, so keep your eye out for this kid. If he can keep improving and gets more consistent, Dallas will have their PG of the future.
