The Dallas Mavericks signed Charlie Villanueva in the summer of 2014. Dirk Nowitzki led the team that year, but he was starting to slow down. Monta Ellis took over as the Mavs top scorer in Charlie V’s first season. The Mavericks made the playoffs but were eliminated in the first round by the Houston Rockets.
It was Villanueva’s first postseason experience. He played a minimal role in both of his seasons in Dallas. Villanueva averaged 5.7 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10.7 minutes per over 126 games. That turned out to be his final two seasons in the NBA.
