The team had a first-round choice this year but traded the No. 18 pick to Hornets Venom GT, the NBA 2K League affiliate of the Charlotte Hornets, for back Saad. When they joined the league, hornets Venom GT selected him in the expansion draft. The two McHatten and Mcclure are all players, giving Mavs Gaming a team. Mcclure plays while McHatten is a power forward shooting guard. For Mcclure, joining Mavs Gaming is a reunion of sorts. He has a close relationship with Boyd, the former No. 1 overall pick and face of this franchise.
"Every season we attempt to elevate the NBA 2K League experience for gamers, fans and viewers, and we're taking a major step in this direction with our brand new Manhattan studio," explained NBA 2K League managing director Brendan Donohue. "This exceptional space will further establish the NBA 2K League as a world-class esports merchandise and make the league more engaging and accessible to casual and hardcore fans alike."
Last weekend at Terminal 5 at New York, the NBA 2K League held its annual draft where 68 players were chosen to join one of its 23 franchises. Jack Mascone was chosen No. 1 overall by Wizards District Gambling of the 229 eligible candidates to be drafted. The Gen.G Tigers of Shanghai, the league's hottest franchise and also the first to be operated out of North America, drafted Dhwan"ShiftyKaii" White as their very first player in franchise history.
Mavs Gaming enters the 2020 season coming off its best-ever performance last season, posting a 12-4 record. The team made it for the first time in just its second season into the playoffs. Regrettably, their postseason experience was short lived. The group did not advance past the first round. They would like to build on last year's success and perform even better this season. "The goal is not to be complacent. If we keep that in mind, it will continue to keep the staff thirsty," Mavs Gaming Head Coach, LT Fairley, said. "I might be saying the same matter if we won the championship last year:'why win one when we could win?' That will give us the grind, grit and hunger to maneuver and keep making progress."
The 1 position missing would be power forward. Len and TURNUP really desired Anthony"Wuan" Rivas. Of the power pool, he had been the one who stood out the most. "With the fourth pick in the second round of the NBA 2K League Season 3 draft, Raptors Uprising GC chooses Wuan out of Miami, Florida," Donohue declared. TURNUP and len stopped to think. Who are their third overall pick in the draft? They had 34 and 32. Another power forward, Jahlil"Sleetys" McClure, created an impression on these during the interview process. However he was not a standout. So who then?
