DALLAS — Giving the Dallas Mavericks’ front office a small sample of how effective he can be when handed the opportunity to play during the final six games of the 2016-17 season, versatile forward Jarrod Uthoff now hopes he cemented a spot on next year’s team.
The 6-9, 220-pound Uthoff originally signed a 10-day contract with the Mavericks on March 9, inking a second 10-day deal with the team on March 19. He later signed a reported multi-year deal that gives both him and the Mavericks an opportunity to watch the undrafted rookie grow in coach Rick Carlisle’s system.
