As previously mentioned, the Dallas Mavericks may well be the deepest team in the NBA. Add to this that the backups are not lesser version copies of the main guys, and you see how Rick Carlisle has a big advantage in matching up with teams.
This depth is driven by 5 new players that have helped push them through the early injury problems. Rodrigue Beaubois saw significant playing time early when the injuries were at there worst. Since the team is 20-9, he obviously didn't hurt.
Kris Humphries makes the team 4 deep at players who can play center. He still needs some polish on his finishing ability but he has shown his worth.
Tim Thomas brings a veteran inside/outside presence. I never knew he was the 3 point threat he has turned out to be.
Drew Gooden may turn out to be the biggest addition. Good attitude, able to come off the bench or start, rebounds and gives the team 6 legitimate threats to go off for 20 on ay night.
Later I will devote an entire entry to the big 1.
