Looking at their roster the supporting cast might be better than Luka´s. Nurkic is one of the better old school bigs in the game. Grant was the rising two-way wing player before he decided to chuck away in Detroit and apparently remembered how to play defense. Simmons emerged as a McCollum replaced and allowed them to trade CJ. Hart is another solid wing and at some point GPII will return.
I did not like their bench unit but so far the youngsters are performing better than expected. Especially Sharpe. Looks like the player the Mavs hoped to get when they picked Hardy.
Standing are all over the place right now. Jazz and Spurs are winning. Lakers might be the worst team in the league. Nets, Heat and 76ers are struggling. As of now I have no clue where the Mavs rank in all of this.
Good post. The season is fluid. The standings will even out after a few months. Utah, and SA don't appear to be tanking yet. But I expect that to change as the season wears on. There are a lot of very good teams in both conferences now. Not one-sided as it has been. Sharpe is on a whole nother level than Hardy. Bigger and more athletic.
