For four games, Boban Marjanovic sat. . .and sat. . .and sat. . .and sat some more. Then, when the Dallas Mavericks’ veteran center finally got a chance to play his first game of the season last Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers, he didn’t disappoint.
In just 11 workmanlike minutes against the Lakers, Marjanovic scored four points and grabbed seven rebounds while being a huge factor inside the paint. Two days later against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Marjanovic collected 12 points and eight boards in only 15 minutes and was again a major factor inside the paint.
