What I love about the Mavs style is it has evolved to two guards, two wings and a single big. There's not much difference between the small forward and power forward. I don't know if the "wing" terminology is correct but in my simple mind I think of small forward-power forward as old-school and wing as modern.
Luka, Brunson and Dinwiddie are guards.
DFS, Bullock are wings. THJ is a wing. Green and Ntilikina are probably developing wings who can guard the point-of-attack.
What's special about Maxi is he does the same thing for the 4-5 "power forward-center" role. He's a switchable big who can guard the perimeter, block shots and shoot threes. Seems like someone should coin a new name for this type of player. Something better than "beefy long wing" ... Spaceball Center?
