1 Ntilikina PG
2 Hardaway SG
3 Porzingis SF
4 O Quinn PF
5 Kanter C

Everybody wants to be Golden State,but a big line up can be advantageous against a small line up, like this one.

Top 5 off the bench.
Beasely
Hernangomez
Jack ( Thank God for him)

Burke

How are you defending

That would be a great lineup for tanking.

I appreciate you thinking outside the box,

but that is about as bad of an idea as you can have. KP is having trouble guarding 4's near the perimeter. KP's best attribute is his rim protection. KP is tired now and he plays primarily inside on defense. KP works best in space, having O'Quinn and Kanter on the floor with him will allow defenses to clog the paint. Lets make him a 3!

Positions on either end are fungible

. not the line up as listed. But there is a way..

What does this mean exactly? So Oquinn or Kanter would guard the 3?

It's a puzzle right now

Considering starting fives play no more than

10 minutes of a game together, this is pretty meaningless.

But if I was a coach and I saw this five, I would add a third perimeter shooter to force one of the bigs to come out, and then pick and role to get what ever you want.

Nili
Lee
Beasly
Porz
Cantor

Possibly even worse a lineup but at least both Nili and Lee get steals which could be considered a form of defense?
