The fluidity that is the Dallas Mavericks rotation has been very interesting this year. It started with the starting unit taking on many different forms at the beginning of the season, before graduating to the bench where there are nine players who are worthy of minutes in today’s NBA. Unfortunately for them, a team would never work with a 14-man rotation.
For that reason, Rick Carlisle and the Mavs coaching staff has decided to go in a number of directions with that second rotation, usually consisting of somewhere between four and seven players. On different occasions, that group of players has included Justin Jackson and on others it did not.
