DALLAS — Although he was one of the Dallas Mavericks’ unheralded signings of the offseason, versatile big man Jeremy Evans has been handed the most responsibility early during the team’s training camp.
The 6-foot-9, 200-pound Evans spent his first five seasons in Utah, coming to Dallas after averaging 3.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 10.8 minutes in 219 games. He also showcased plenty of raw athletic ability, winning the Slam Dunk contest at All-Star weekend in 2012.
Evans, 27, played collegiately for four seasons at Western Kentucky University, averaging 10.0 points and 6.9 rebounds in 34 games during his senior year.
