After Luka, you'd be hard pressed to take any Mav starter over a Suns starter, especially based on performance in the series considering how well Crowder has played and how poorly everyone else on our team has played. Even in the most generous case, four of the first five players you'd pick would be Suns. And considering the Mavs have had their doors blown off twice now, I'd lean more towards an overwhelming advantage than the opposite. And that's not even including the disparity in role players with the likes of Johnson, McGee, Payne and Shamet. Suns 3rd string center probably has better numbers in very limited action than our starting center.
