2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[DanSchwartzgan]

Yeah, I also think Omuruyi is a keeper. But I think he is more of an undersized PF. I think he fits really well with KP at Center. Maybe he is the type of player the Mavs need on the roster.

With four centers there is a bit of a hole at 3rd PF.  I could see him getting called up on nights when KP rests.  Otherwise, G-League all-star on a two-way is perfectly fine for an undrafted guy.

I think the bench has three locks in Maxi, Bullock and Brunson.  I'll be interested to see who the first center off the bench will be opening night, a month from now and in April.  I've said for a while the plan is probably for cost-controlled Moses to make Willie unnecessary next season.  Maybe it happens sooner.

I think Sterling, Green and Frank will compete for backup two minutes.  Someone needs to step up as the bench needs some shot creation outside of Brunson.  As rotations tighten those minutes will evaporate.  But Bullock, Hardaway and Brunson playing more minutes doesn't solve the bench creation issue.  Brunson, Maxi, Bullock, some center and one of the colors still feels light to me.  Good D, but not enough scoring.  As I said in the game one thread, I think Kidd solves this by leaving THJ out there as the last starter to sit and brings Luka back as the first starter to return reducing the time we have a pure bench lineup on the floor.
