The Dallas Mavericks came to terms with former Utah Jazz small forward Jeremy Evans on a two-year deal for the league minimum. After spending the first five years of his NBA career once he came out of Western Kentucky, he will be making the move to Dallas, where he will try to earn a larger role.

After having his best season from 2013-2014, Evans struggled to produce significant statistics while only playing 7 minutes a game. He finished the season averaging 2.4 points, 1.9 rebounds, .3 assists, .3 blocks, and .3 steals per game. These were right around his career averages of 3.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, .5 assists, .5 blocks, and .4 steals in 10.8 minutes per game.
Evans is going to aim to bounce back and get his career back on track to one where he can be a significant part of a rotation in the league. He will likely have an opportunity to play in the postseason for the first time since 2012, and will be able to contribute a lot to the team if he works for it.
