The Dallas Mavericks nabbed forward Al-Farouq Aminu in the offseason for his defensive prowess.
Here's what defensive prowess looks like. Aminu swallowed up a layup attempt by Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol on Tuesday.
The Mavericks have allowed 105 points per 100 possessions with Aminu on the floor this season, as opposed to 107.8 with him on the bench. Aminu is also chipping in with 4.5 points and 3.2 rebounds per game off the bench.
