9. Another wackadoo Dallas bench
The suddenly hot Mavs have outscored opponents by almost 20 points per 100 possessions when Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell share the floor. Every year, J.J. Barea and Rick Carlisle take some cast of wackadoo misfits and meld it into a productive bench.
Their main co-stars this season: Dorian Finney-Smith, shooting 46 percent from deep after a lost 2017-18 season; and Kleber, the other Maverick from Wurzburg, Germany, emerging out of nowhere as a fearsome rim protector.
Kleber leads the Mavericks in blocks, and he's on pace to double his total from last season. Finney-Smith's versatility on defense has allowed Carlisle to play Luka Doncic, Harrison Barnes and Finney-Smith together for heavy minutes.
It will be interesting to see how Carlisle juggles minutes when the Tall Baller from the G returns.
