The Dallas Mavericks have officially signed guard John Jenkins and forward Jarrid Famous, the team announced Friday.

ESPN's Tim McMahon reported the Mavs' agreement with Jenkins on Monday. Jenkins (6-foot-4, 215 pounds) was a first-round pick of the Atlanta Hawks in 2012 but didn't produce much in three seasons in Atlanta. After averaging 14.8 minutes per game in 61 games as a rookie in 2012-2013, Jenkins has played in just 37 games since.

The 27-year-old Famous (6-foot-11, 240 pounds) has spent time playing overseas and in the D-League since going undrafted in 2011. He averaged 10.2 points and 6.8 rebounds in 20.2 minutes per game in five games with the Washington Wizards in the Las Vegas Summer League.
