8) Dallas Mavericks
Many Dallas fans are expecting newcomer Caron Butler to put them over the top this season, but while Dallas has an elite starting five their bench is really lacking. Scoring options will be interesting to figure out as the season goes along but the scoring options will likely be the three perimeter players. Regardless don't expect to see any Mavericks near the top of the scoring list this year. Expect the coach to constantly fidget with the gameplan (drugs) as Dallas has the personnel to play many different styles of basketball.
Brandon Bass could be the only good bench player Dallas has.
