Understandably, the focus has been on the other new guys. Nick Van Exel and Raef LaFrentz were the headliners of the Mavericks' trade with Denver. Avery Johnson has been a vocal supplemental piece.
Tariq Abdul-Wahad has been relatively ignored.
But the fourth player of the four newcomers acquired by the Mavericks in last week's trade has received some of the highest praise a week after the deal was completed.
"He could be the key to the whole trade," Mavericks coach Don Nelson said. "He's a defensive kind of guy, a guy who can run the floor. He's looked very good. We're pretty excited about that for the future."

OAKLAND, Calif. -- It's a sobering process, going from Mr. Popularity to Who's he?
That's the deal for Donnell Harvey.
He's the other guy the Denver Nuggets received in a major trade a week ago that also brought Tim Hardaway and Juwan Howard.
Three years ago, Harvey was considered the best high school basketball player in America. Virtually every college coach in the land wanted Harvey.
