The Dallas Mavericks re-tooled their second unit once again this offseason, but with the return of J.J. Barea and Devin Harris, the preseason play of John Jenkins, and the Brandan Wright-like potential of Jeremy Evans and JaVale McGee, many had high hopes for what the bench could accomplish.
So far though, the reserves as a unit have been disappointing.
Jenkins and Evans haven’t played well enough to garner consistent minutes from head coach Rick Carlisle.
