Skipping right to the Sixers below:
"The Lineup: Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr., Caleb Martin, Paul George, Guerschon Yabusele
Apologies to Joel Embiid. Tapping into the Philadelphia 76ers' inner funkiness is easier without him. Plopping Yabusele into the 5 spot is not ingenious. On the contrary, it might be a disaster. He's only 6'8", and this group doesn't really include anyone who can pitch in down low. Maybe George or Martin, but that's a stretch.
On the bright side, Yabusele is built like a brick house made up of many other miniature brick houses. His strength and girth gives him a fighting chance against select rival centers. Every other element of this lineup is golden. The other four players can all dribble and decision-make. Oubre's decision-making doesn't include much ball movement, but that's fine.
Philly should have the personnel to run off rebounds and turnovers, and Maxey's blow-by speed should shine in the half-court. If this quintet posts an offensive rating less than infinity, it'll be patently shocking."
I know Nurse loves to experiment, but this may be a fun line up to try out.
