Re: Boston/Dallas Depth Charts
the Mavs' rotation will probably look something like this:
PG: Nash, Best, Delk, Daniels, Walker
SG: Finley, Jamison, Delk, Daniels, Howard, Walker
SF: Walker, Jamison, Finley, Najera, Dirk, Howard
PF: Dirk, Walker, Najera, Fortson, Jamison
C: Fortson, Bradley, Dirk, Najera
key backups/role players: Travis Best (first PG off bench), Delk (can play 1 or 2), Najera (can play either forward and center and gives huge energy boost), Bradley (defensive specialist), Fortson (when not starting brings good defense relief off of the bench), Jamison (could win 6th man of the year), and Howard (rookie with energy) - The role players will be huge, and Nellie has all kinds of matchup possibilities with those guys.
Of course, Nellie uses a different starting lineup just about every week, but the rotation will look something like the one above. He will move people around.
You should expect him to use Dirk at center often. With Nash, Fin, Jamison, 'Toine, and Dirk grabbing rebounds and taking off - the Mavs will have one hell of a fast break. Expect that lineup (with Dirk at center and both Jamison and Walker in there together) to be the lineup that Dallas closes games with.
