Answering Questions Around Back Court Minutes

After a career year from Seth Curry last year, now the cloud hovers around who will get the minutes in the back court in Dallas.

When looking at the starting lineup, Nerlens Noel and Dirk Nowitzki will man the starting front court spots. Harrison Barnes and Wesley Matthews will man the wing while Dennis Smith Jr. looks to get the reigns at point guard.

Where does this leave Seth Curry and how will they answer the question of monitoring the back court minutes?

Will Rick Carlisle say that Seth Curry will be their sixth man? Will Seth Curry show that he is ok with being the sixth man despite playing his best basketball in the starting lineup last year?

Then you add in Yogi Ferrell coming back to join J.J. Barea and Devin Harris off the bench also.

I will be looking for Carlisle to mention using a lot of three guard lineups this coming season.
