Based on intel gained from the preseason opener - and we all know how accurate that is - the Mavericks' starting five has four drop-dead shooters surrounding rookie point guard Dennis Smith Jr.
The second unit? It features four pure-bred athletes surrounding J.J. Barea, who along with Devin Harris might need to enroll in lobaholics anonymous before the season is done.
The alley-oop is a huge weapon for that second group.
The starters? Let's just say Dirk Nowitzki isn't rolling to the rim with quite the same gusto as Nerlens Noel or Dwight Powell.
The contradiction in styles was evident in the exhibition opener and it's something that coach Rick Carlisle is going to embrace and encourage.
