The Dallas Mavericks announced today that they have signed free agent guard Greg Buckner. As per club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Buckner (6-4, 210) was originally the Mavericks second round draft pick in the 1998 NBA Draft. In three years as a Maverick, Buckner saw action in 129 games, starting 26, and averaged 5.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists while shooting 48.0% from the field.

The Hopkinsville, Ky., native spent the past two seasons with the Denver Nuggets. Last year he started 27 of his 73 games and averaged a career-best 6.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.19 steals in 24.1 minutes per game. Buckner shot 43.4% from the field and 78.2% from the free throw line. In a game against Dallas on Feb. 10, the defensive-minded guard played 37 minutes and registered 7 steals to go along with his 8 points.

As a standout at Clemson, Buckner was only the fifth player in Atlantic Coast Conference history to lead his squad in scoring four consecutive years. He was named All-ACC Second Team as a junior and senior and was a member of the 1997 gold-medal winning team at the World University Games in Trapani, Italy.
