Dallas is asking Evans to do things he's never done before, including shoot three-pointers and play small forward.
There's nothing Donnie Nelson and Mark Cuban do better (partying aside) than find wayward NBA veterans that Rick Carlisle can quietly turn into quality rotation members. It happened for Brandan Wright and Vince Carter, for Devin Harris, Al-Farouq Aminu and DeShawn Stevenson. If everything goes according to plan, it'll happen for Jeremy Evans, too.
Evans, the 6'9 27-year-old former dunk champion who spent five years with the Utah Jazz, is the latest scrapheap find for the Dallas Mavericks.
