DALLAS � Dallas Mavericks point guard Rodrigue Beaubois is jumping right into the NBA.

Beaubois, who has played professionally in France, took part in his first summer-league practice Tuesday and signed his rookie deal with the club.
As the 25th overall pick, he�s slotted to receive almost $896,200 this season and $963,400 next season, with a $1.03 million option for his third year.
Beaubois actually was drafted by Oklahoma City, then was sent to Dallas for the No. 24 pick (B.J. Mullens) and a second-rounder.
Beaubois has athletic ability but is considered a raw basketball talent. Whether he�s ready to back up Jason Kidd and J.J. Barea remains to be seen, but that�s why he�ll be part of the Mavericks� summer league team in Las Vegas.
