Moussa Seck might be the most intriguing member of the Mavericks' Las Vegas summer league team.

He played with an amateur team in Italy last season and he's unlikely to see any court time, but the promise is there.

"But," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said, "he has something you can't teach."

Seck, 22, is raw, but the team believes he has surprisingly good basketball skills.

"He's one of the most teachable and coachable big men I have ever seen," said Mavericks European scout Roberto Carmenati. "He has a freakish wingspan. He can run, he's very coordinated, he has a nice shooting form, soft hands, huge hands, and he has a natural ability to get offensive rebounds and block shots."

Seck, who is a free agent, still needs some seasoning.

"He needs another year or two in Europe," Mavericks general manager Donnie Nelson said. "He's not ready yet."
