Tim Coenraad is proving one of the handiest sixth men in the league this season after shifting into the four spot, while skipper Kevin White is relishing a return to the role of bench spark plug.
Coenraad stuffed the sheet with 12 points, five rebounds and three assists against Brisbane on Saturday, while White had a pair of crucial threes and four dimes.
It was part of a 32-point contribution from the bench, something that will need to continue according to Beveridge.
“We are very, very balanced,” Bevëridge said.
“We've said [Todd] Blanchfield will be our main scorer from the perimeter, Brian [Conklin] will be our interior focus, we've got AJ [Ogilvy], we've got so many pieces to puzzle.
"You can't win a championship with just your starting five, you've got to have a deep team which we have.”
