Being an NBA first-round draft pick is a glorious moment for any player.
Roddy Beaubois, the Mavericks' new addition at point guard, is introduced at
American Airlines Center on Friday. The 6-2 guard brings energy, athleticism
and skill, said Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle.
It was no different for new Maverick Roddy Beaubois. In fact, the 6-2 point
guard got a double shot of thrills with the events late in the first round of
Thursday's draft.
"I've waited for this moment a long time," Beaubois said Friday at American
Airlines Center. "When they called my name, I was way happy because I waited
so long.
"But when they told me I was supposed to go to Dallas, I was happier because
I really like this team and this city. I really appreciate this."
So are we to assume Oklahoma City, which drafted Beaubois for the Mavericks,
wasn't high on his wish list.
"No," he quickly said.
Not that there's anything wrong with the town or NBA franchise 200 miles
north of Dallas.
But it's not Dallas. And this is where Beaubois (BO-bwah) wanted to be. The
Mavericks had targeted him as one of the players they would use their 24th
overall pick on. But when it came their turn to draft, the Mavericks got a
call from the Thunder, which owned the 25th pick.
"Why would you trade 24 for 25?" owner Mark Cuban said. "I think Oklahoma
City wanted to find out who we were drafting because that might have impacted
some other things they were doing.
"They wanted to see our hand, and if they wanted us to turn over our hole
card, they had to pay for that right."
That's how the Mavericks got a future second-round pick. And still ended up
with what they think is a keeper at point guard.
Beaubois, according to the Mavericks, measured similar to Devin Harris on
quickness and agility drills. His 6-10 wingspan and 39-inch vertical leap
didn't hurt, either.
Coach Rick Carlisle said the acquisitions of Beaubois, combo guard Nick
Calathes and forward Ahmad Nivins could not have worked out better.
"They're the kind of guys we want to have in our franchise – young,
energetic guys that bring skill, athleticism and enthusiasm," Carlisle said.
"We're a team that's looking to win a championship on one hand, but also
infuse young talent and guys that are about the things that we feel are
important."
Beaubois, 21, who grew up on Guadalupe in the French West Indies, began
playing basketball at age 7 and, at 17, went to France when he realized he
needed to play against better competition. Fellow Frenchman Mickael Pietrus
is credited for uncovering Beaubois at one of his camps in Guadalupe, where
he also grew up.
"I knew I had to play at a higher level," Beaubois said.
Now, he'll do so alongside Jason Kidd, assuming the Mavericks can sign him
this summer.
"He's one of the best point guards to play the game," Beaubois said. "I think
I can learn some things from him."
