After losing Tyson Chandler in free agency to the Phoenix Suns, and missing out on DeAndre Jordan in free agency, the Dallas Mavericks took a committee approach to the center position.
The Mavericks added Zaza Pachulia, Samuel Dalembert, Salah Mejri and JaVale McGee, but it's still unclear who will start at the 5 next season.
While Pachulia may be the favorite, the Mavericks might be unconventional with how they approach having a starter at center.
Here's more from Earl K. Sneed at Mavs.com:
But as Mavs coach Rick Carlisle has said in the past, the starting position may not come down to whichever player is the most talented.
“You know, ultimately, who’s better may not be the one that starts,” Carlisle said when addressing position battles last season. “I mean, we’ve done things a little different way than some teams the last several years. … The thing that’s exciting is the possibility of having another roster full of capable players and guys that are good and guys that are experienced. And at this point in their careers, they’re aiming more towards winning and getting back into the conversation of getting a ring than just trying to get some stats and get their next deal.”
