You may not know this about me, but I think depth is overrated. That does not mean that it should be dismissed or that I don’t get warm and fuzzies dissecting the bottom third of the roster, but championships are not won with depth. At least not when it matters most. Your best players will need to carry the load for a championship run.
We don’t have to look too far into the past to see how too much depth affected the Boston Celtics. Last year, the Celtics had about eight starting-caliber players. In theory, the more talent you have, the better off you’ll be.
