Santi Aldama discusses rookie Sergio De Larrea's impact on Mavericks

Santi Aldama spoke positively about rookie guard Sergio De Larrea as the Dallas Mavericks prepared for preseason activities. Aldama, who recently joined the Mavericks after spending five years in Memphis, emphasized the rarity of having a fellow Spaniard as a teammate. De Larrea, a 20-year-old who earned the Liga ACB Best Young Player award, is expected to bring significant skills to the Mavericks. Aldama believes De Larrea's size as a 6-foot-6 guard will benefit from the NBA's spacing. They are both focused on building chemistry ahead of the upcoming season, aiming to enhance the Mavericks' performance on the court.
