Meet Petteri Koponen, the Mavericks' new point guard from Finland

In case you forgot -- and no one is blaming you if you did, since following international leagues isn't really a priority -- the Mavericks hold the rights to an international veteran point guard who was named to All-Eurocup First Team just a couple weeks ago after winning Eurocup championship with Russian club BC Khimki Moscow Region.

He's Finland native Petteri Koponen. He's 6'4 and 27 years old, a 2007 first round draft pick whose player rights were dealt to the Mavericks from the Portland Trail Blazers back in 2011. And according to ESPN's Marc Stein, he wants to make his debut in the NBA in 2015.
