Ryan Hollins learning fast

The slender big man found himself on the low block, getting backed down by Cavs' center Zydrunaz Ilgauskas. Hollins held his ground, then, as Z turned to go up for the basket, Hollins stuck his arms straight up and forced a miss.

He didn't commit a foul because he didn't move his arms forward as he was guarding Z. Clearly, Hollins has been schooled well by the Mavericks' coach staff.

He's staying on the ground and not picking up cheap fouls.

Such potential for this kid that it's almost hard to comprehend.
