First appearance: 

It was a poor showing Friday in Denver as the Mavericks were trounced 106-75. But it was a memorable night for one Maverick.

Rookie two-way player Eugene Omoruyi saw his first official NBA action and turned in six points, three rebounds and an assist in just under nine minutes.
Yes, the game was out of hand by then, but it still meant that Omoruyi was able to get valuable experience.

“I think Eugene did a great job for his first NBA game,” Kidd said. “The big picture is to be able to have guys like that and being able to call guys up and be ready to play and I thought Eugene did a good job.”

Omoruyi likely will spend considerable time playing for the Texas Legends in Frisco, but he has had an impact in virtually every game he’s played – summer league, preseason and on Friday.

“It’s not the result we wanted, but it was good. I came off and did what I do,” Omoruyi said. 

“Anytime they need me, I’m going to come up. Anytime they need me at Frisco, I’ll be in Frisco, that’s how I’m going to approach it.”

Interestingly, one of the first plays the 6-6 Omoruyi had was against Denver’s Bol Bol, who is listed at 7-2 and just 220 pounds.

“I’ve seen that the whole time I’ve been playing basketball,” Omoruyi said. “I just trust my footwork and maneuvering to get around him.”
And he did, wheeling around Bol for a layup."
