With a lack of talent at the center position, the Charlotte Bobcats played with a small line up for most of their opening game against the Mavericks.
The Breakdown
Nazr Mohammed started, but Tyrus Thomas got big minutes off the bench. Bobcats head coach Larry Brown seems to have very little faith in the rest of the bench and the team's centers, Mohammed and DeSagana Diop. Expect a small line up featuring Thomas at center to be on the court for long stretches and the top 5 players to play huge minutes on a nightly basis.
At this time, it looks like Tyrus Thomas and D.J. Augustin are good pick ups in most leagues. I don't expect spectacular stats from either of them, but 30+ minutes should be produce solid lines on most nights.
