The Dallas Mavericks guard Jerrick Harding spent the past two seasons languishing with the Basketball Nymburk in the Czech National Basketball League.
“It was a really good experience,” Harding said. “I feel like I grew a lot not only as a player, but as a man. I was a million miles away from home and there were times when it can get kind of depressing when you’re on your lonely vibes.
“But I feel like I did a great job trying to dive into the culture, getting out and exploring.”
In five games with the Mavericks at the 2022 NBA Summer League, Harding averaged 13.8 points, 4.0 assists, and 3.2 rebounds per game. He also shot 50 percent from the field, including 36 percent from the 3-point range.
