Not sure if anyone’s posted/discussed our best 5 man lineups so far (Cut off at a minimum of 15 minutes played to eliminate the smallest samples:
The starting 5 (BroLo, Khris, GA, Dame, Malik)- 116.7 ORtg, 104.5 DRtg in 115 minutes
BroLo, Pat, GA, Dame, Malik- 123.0 ORtg, 102.5 DRtg in 51 mins
BroLo, Bobby, Dame, Pat, Malik- 119.2 ORtg, 97.5 DRtg in 33 mins
GA, Cam, Bobby, Pat, MarJon- 135.3 ORtg, 113.5 DRtg in 24 mins
GA, Cam, Bobby, Pat, Green- 150.0 ORtg, 121.9 DRtg in 15 mins
Now to the Net negative lineups:
Brolo, Dame, Jae, GA, Malik- 100.0 ORtg, 106.8 DRtg in 44 mins
Dame, GA, Bobby, Pat, MarJon- 101.8 ORtg, 102 DRtg in 24 mins
Khris, GA, Cam, Bobby, Pat- 121.4 ORtg, 143.2 DRtg in 22 mins
BroLo, Dame, GA, Beasley, AJax- 90.9 ORtg, 140.0 DRtg in 20 mins
BroLo, Dame, Jae, Pat, Malik- 81.8 ORtg, 150.0 DRtg in 15 mins
Thoughts? I’m pretty surprised at how well those first 3 lineups perform on defense. Also that AJ Green lineup is hilariously good on offense apparently despite AJ really not shooting well this year. Wish we had more of a sample of AJax lineups, but he only showed up in 2 of them with that cutoff and they were net negatives so far
Thanks for sharing this data. Pat is in all the best lineups. That says a lot to me about his role as a wing who can defend, shoot 3s, and knows where to be.
AJax needs to be in the 2 guard role with Giannis, Dame, and 2 of Khris/Jae/MarJon/Brook/Bobby. He isn’t a 3 and should be on the court with at least 1 if not 2 wings.
