DALLAS—The Dallas Mavericks announced today that they have signed free agent forward Pops Mensah-Bonsu. As per club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.
“We are really excited about Pops joining the Mavericks,” President of Basketball Operations Donn Nelson said. “His energy and attitude were the determining factors in this decision. He will bring added athleticism to our front line.”
Mensah-Bonsu (6-9, 240) is a former standout at George Washington University where he earned First Team Atlantic-10 honors in 2005-06. As a senior he averaged 12.6 points and 6.7 rebounds, while leading the Colonels in field goal percentage (56.4%) and blocked shots (38) – a category where he ranks second on George Washington’s career list with 141. As a junior, the forward was a Second Team Atlantic-10 selection and was voted the Atlantic-10 Most Improved Player as a sophomore.
After going undrafted in the 2006 NBA Draft, Mensah-Bonsu joined the Mavericks summer league squad at the Toshiba Vegas Summer League and the Rocky Mountain Revue. He averaged 8.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in Las Vegas and 8.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in Salt Lake City.
A native of London, England, Mensah-Bonsu attended high school at St. Augustine Prep in Richland, NJ.

Wait -- wouldn't that missing link be the failure to win a title?

Knee-jerk reaction may have brought Mavs a forward

Things may have been vastly different for new Mavericks forward Pops Mensah-Bonsu had he not twisted a knee late last season after leading George Washington into the top 10.
Instead, the Colonials were eliminated by Duke in the second round of the NCAA Tournament and Mensah-Bonsu was undrafted.
The Mavericks, intrigued by Mensah-Bonsu's athleticism and performance in two summer leagues, signed him to a two-year contract Thursday. Only the first year is guaranteed.
"Guys with his athleticism and competitive mind-set don't go undrafted," president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said. "He was the most athletic 4 [power forward] I saw this summer outside of Amare Stoudemire."
Mensah-Bonsu (6-9, 240) possesses a 38-inch vertical jump and has been playing organized basketball for only six years.
He averaged 12.6 points and 6.7 rebounds as a senior for George Washington and about eight points and five rebounds in the Las Vegas and Salt Lake City summer leagues.
"It's a blessing," said Mensah-Bonsu, 22, a London native. "I've been working for this since I've been playing basketball. To make it official is hard to believe. It's a dream come

Yes they have added alot of players but they havent lost any of their core group. The biggest loss was Daniels and he rarely got to play.
