Call up Greg Brown and give him minutes. This current team is what happens when the Mavs are so obsessed with "bigs" that can shoot threes that they would rather go small and undersized with these floor spacers than figure out how to integrate a tall/lenthy PFs even if they can't shoot. You're going to get killed on the boards every game and lose out on these 50/50 balls when you have to play GW/DJJ at the 4 and Green at the 3
I don't think two non shooting bigs is the answer. The starting lineup has not really been the issue. The old starting lineup has a 111 defensive rating and this most recent one is 108. The real issue from a size/defense standpoint is the second unit. A lot of that is due to no Maxi and Powell being undersized. I'm hoping moving DJJ and Holmes to the second unit will help that out, but we shall see.
