Welcome to the 2015 Media day for your Dallas Mavericks.

Rookie Justin Anderson during Media Day

Today we have the newest addition to your Dallas Mavericks Justin Anderson.

DE- Justin thanks for taking the time to meet with us today. GM Donnie Nelson spoke about your defensive presence saying "I think that's kind of the calling card he's got right now," on The Afternoon Show with Cowlishaw and Mosley. Would you agree with his statements?

JA- Yeah I would. I'm a firm believer in Defense wins ballgames. You have to score more then the other team but when you have a good defensive base it lowers their points per game and makes it easier to get buckets on the other end.

DE- I know Dallas fans love hearing that! What area of your game are you working on or the team wants you to work on?

JA- This goes back to my last season with Virgina, jumpshots. I am trying to get more consistent. I think it started to pay off last year but now is the time to improve and get better so that its the same form and consistent every time.

DE- Sounds like your a gym rat?

JA- Yeah I am always trying to improve some area of my game.

DE- Awesome! Last Question and then we will let you get back to work. What motivates you?

JA- You know after making a big play or a big stop I love seeing my Teammates smile. It motivates me because I know thats who I am playing for. It can get them going in different ways and that gets the crowd going. I love looking in the stands and seeing smiles and people jumping up and down excited for their team.

DE- Well, welcome to the team Justin! We look forward to watching you this season, and we wish you the best of luck!

Look for more interviews with the Staff and Players soon.
