Dalembert was criticized by coach Rick Carlisle for his lack of conditioning, Tim MacMahon of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dalembert showing up to camp out of shape is not exactly unexpected, but it's a disappointing development for a player who has a chance to start at center for Dallas this season. After the Mavs lost out on DeAndre Jordan, they brought in Dalembert and Zaza Pachulia to solidify the position. Neither player inspires a ton of hope, but both players could have fantasy value, provided their respective minutes loads allow it.
