Looking at the roster, there are some clear archetypes developing:
Luka/Brunson -- offensive initiators
THJ/Dinwiddie -- bigger gunners
DFS/Bullock -- 3&D wings
Maxi/Bertans -- floor-spacing 4s
Powell/Chriss -- rim-rolling centers
I agree with the observations that Dallas is moving on from the "run plays for your frontcourt guy on the block" offense and committing to ball movement. Now how it works on defense is TBD, but it'll be interesting to see how the overall team adjusts to the new paradigm.
There is a lot of truth here.
You can say "switchable" about everyone on that list with a straight face. Bertans probably isn't going to be great after switching, but it's not because he's too big/lumbering/slow.
