I think looking how most of the good teams are really deep, looking at the good teams who are not deep are the ones who may underperform. Especially when a game or two may really matter.
Agreed.
Although I go back and forth on this over the years. An argument could be made that even the deepest depth won't help if your top 6 aren't good enough. Case in point: if one of Russell or Exum doesn't step up and play at a level that would surprise their detractors, I'm not sure it's going to matter how deep the rest of the roster is this season. There were years during the Dirk era when I felt the team was super deep, but the top end of their talent wasn't enough. I think it's all a balancing act.
