Turning one man's trash into another man's treasure has become a specialty with the Mavericks front office. Brandan Wright and Al-Farouq Aminu came to Dallas as washed out lottery picks looking for a revival, but both players received handsome pay days this past summer due after that blossomed under Rick Carlisle's tutelage.

Jenkins was picked 23rd in the 2012 draft—just one pick before that glorious Jared Cunningham selection—by the Atlanta Hawks because of his lethal shooting at Vanderbilt University.
