Good lineups

[PtldPlatypus]

I just want a 6'8 long armed SF again is all. Is that too much to ask for? I want a 6'10" PF. Is that too much to ask for?

I will say, if our FO had offered their MLE to Jalen Smith instead of GP2, you could have had that--Grant at SF and Smith at PF. Sadly, that didn't happen.

He's saying he hopes we blow out a lot of teams so we can see that lineup.

DDDUUUuuuuuhhhhHHhHh!!!!!!!

Smith played well at the end of the season. But so did Watford. It will be interesting to see if there is much of a difference between the two
when both teams are actually trying to make the playoffs.

I would LOVE that. Seems like we haven't blown out a team like that in years.

The Blazers beat the Suns by 29 points last season. It was almost wire-to-wire. Phoenix's last lead in the game was 6-5 .

I think accelerated development from Walker adds the possibility of plenty of interesting lineups. These lineups are projection-dependent:

Ant/Hart/Nas/Walker/Nurk
If Walker can shoot right away, I have high hopes that this lineup on both sides. Walker should help both Nas and Nurk on D, and all of them should be fine covering for Ant. When Nas is hot, we’ll be raining 3’s. When he’s cold, we should still be fine, especially if Nurk continues to work on the 3. Having Nurk will also rapidly accelerate Ant’s PnR skills, I think he should play more minutes with Ant than Dame when playing with one of them, but Dame plays the PnR with Nurk when both guys are in the backcourt at the same time.

Dame/GPII/Hart/Walker/Watford
I think GPII, Hart, and Walker will make up for lack of size. GPII would be the worst shooter. Watford looked a lot better shooting the 3, he just needs to work on speeding it up. I think Dame could tear a bunch of bench units up in his lineup. I don’t want this lineup playing against starting Cs. If Watford can get better at handling the ball so he can grab and go, he can learn to play the Draymond role for Dame.

These are some other ones:

Dame/Hart/Nas/Grant/Watford

Dame/Sharpe/Hart/Watford/Nurk

Ant/GPII/Nas/Walker/Nurk

Hart isn't a point guard.

Neither is Marcus Smart and they went to the Finals!

 

[Tince]

Porter
Drexler
Kersey
Williams
Duckworth

OR

Stoudamire
Smith
Pippen
Wallace
Sabonis

 

[Eastoff]

We have the long-armed part on the team. Little has a 7'2" wing span, and Grant has a 7'3" wing span

Do a long arm lineup!

 

[THE HCP]

Neither is Marcus Smart and they went to the Finals!

Smart is the shortest player , but he is NOT the PG. Tatum runs that offense.

That works well defensively IMO. That way you get one more solid defender on the floor.
But turnovers in the playoffs did turn out to be an issue for them.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Dame
Payton
Ant
Keon
McLemore

According to my sauces Ant will soon be 6'8 and Sharpe 6'10.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Good overall big lineup alongside Dame: Dame, Hart, Little, Grant, Nurk
Good offensive unit: Dame, Ant, Hart, Grant, Nurk

 

[damianlillard]

That offensive unit will probably be the closing lineup at least in the beginning

Yep. Although if Chauncey needs a lineup to defend a last-second shot.....
I hope he goes with Gp2, Hart, Little, Winslow, and Grant
