Sergio de Larrea Fantasy Stats

Dallas Mavericks guard Sergio de Larrea has a real path to backup point guard minutes entering camp, though nothing has been declared. The Smoking Cuban's Noah Weber reads Dallas' lack of an established veteran point guard addition as a sign of confidence in the rookie. The 20-year-old, taken No. 25 overall in June, sits behind Kyrie Irving (knee) alongside Marcus Sasser as one of the team's main traditional lead-guard options, while Cooper Flagg is also expected to handle creation. De Larrea's Summer League line showed the split: 8.0 points on poor shooting, but 8.8 assists per game, including a 14-assist night against Oklahoma City. Dusty May could still lean on Sasser, so De Larrea is more camp watch than draft target, but the passing gives him a path if Irving misses time.

Dallas Mavericks guard Sergio de Larrea accounted for 16 points, one rebound, 12 assists, one block, and two three-pointers in Monday's 96-88 Summer League win over the Memphis Grizzlies. The No. 25 pick bounced back efficiently, shooting 3-for-7 from the field after struggling to a 3-for-14 line in Thursday's loss to Golden State. His scoring consistency remains a developmental project, but the 20-year-old's positional size and elite court vision popped throughout his 30 minutes of action. De Larrea is not set up for an immediate rookie-year fantasy impact while buried on the depth chart behind Kyrie Irving and Marcus Sasser. However, his advanced playmaking profile gives him a cleaner long-term path to rotation minutes than a standard one-dimensional prospect.
