I love all those guys. I just can't help but feel three of them are playing out of position. I so wish I could watch, but I'll be in rehearsal. Huge bummer.

I think you are way too obsessed with the idea that the Mavs might not fill their lineup in the same way as other teams do (as if there are "assigned seats" to fill, so to speak, with penalties assessed for not looking like other teams). 

There is no criteria to be met. The Mavs will get to play 5, deploy them in the game however they wish, and if they are of a different style here or there, it might prove to be an advantage in way more ways than it's a disadvantage.

There are also many ways to get from the top of a building to the bottom, but some have proven more effective than others. Some might not follow the idea that jumping is the correct approach just because your buiilding manager Mico Farrison says it´s the fastest way down.
