Cowboys' starting five -- yes, five -- could be fairly imposing

...With Gathers playing center, Witten will be the power forward. He has played in the Prestonwood league for years and is a solid defender and rebounder. He will also surprise with his mid-range game.
Cole Beasley will man the point. Jason Garrett has said Beasley might be one of the most naturally gifted athletes on the Cowboys’ roster. He even made reference to Beasley copying some of Steph Curry’s ballhandling warm-ups. And if you want to sleep on Beasley, he can always throw down one of these dunks.
Dez Bryant will get a look at the small forward position. He can drive to the basket, defend and guard multiple spots. He can be a streaky jump shooter, but he plays enough to get hot when it matters most.
The starting five will be rounded out by Jones. He will be the defensive specialist. He can guard four spots. He can grab rebounds. He can do the dirty work. Coming up with the sixth man is a little tricky. I considered Prescott for the shooting guard spot over Jones. Word has it he has a good shot. Judging by his work last season in hamper-bin basketball inside the locker room, Prescott could be an instant-offense type off the bench...
