Obligatory sample size caveat: All the teams in the league have either played one game or none at all. Lineup stats are effectively meaningless until teams play more games. That said, I don’t care.

Anyways…

Last night’s starting five — Wemby, Keldon, Vassell, Sochan, and Collins — allowed 104.2 points per 100 possessions.

Lineups featuring Wemby, Vassell, and Collins — the team’s three best defenders in my opinion — allowed just 100.0 points per 100 possessions.

Mind you, these stats are from a game against one of the best offensive players ever in Luka. This also was the core’s first official game together. Plenty of solid takeaways from this game.
