Shane Larkin has already been a hit with the Mavs

DALLAS --It's only been two games, but the reviews on Dallas Mavericks rookie point guard Shane Larkin have been positive.

In his two games since returning from right ankle surgery, Larkin has 11 points, four rebounds, five assists and five steals in 25 minutes and 23 seconds. He also is 4-of-8 from the field, including 2-of-4 from three-point range.

"His quickness helps us,'' coach Rick Carlisle said. "Defensively, he's done some good things.

"But we’re early in the process and there’s a long way to go. But he's done some positive things to this point and we just need him to keep working and getting better.''
