The Nets’ best defensive lineup doesn’t even include Ben Simmons

   I have been saying this for a while. Ben Simmons should be the sixth man on this team unless the nets are facing a big team like the bucks. With the ben/clax duo offense is just so much harder for kd and kai and it don’t even pay off on defense like that.

   4 of our top 6 lineups are with Ben.

   The lineup with Ben/Kai/KD/Joe/Royce has the best rating out of any of our lineups with more than 45 minutes played with +8.8.

   Multiple lineups are positive even on the Bench and just with one of KD and Kyrie with Ben.

   Don’t run with these statmuse posts, all they wanna do is stir shit.

   Royce is so hit and miss. When he’s on he’s on, and when he’s not he costs us a game singlehandedly because he can’t buy a bucket.

   Joe’s defense this year has legitimately been very good. That mixed in with the interior defense from KD and Clax makes this lineup make a lot of sense

   I think Joe should play more. JV has a coach crush on Royce. It would behoove him to split Joe and Royce’s time as to not run Royce to the ground

    Fuck Statmuse. Seriously fuck statmuse. No shit it will have a higher defensive rating, because it’s a small. Sample. Size.

    good, then trade him

    Tiny sample size on this lineup + Ben is in most of our top lineups including our lineup with the best net rating.

    Do not take Statmuse seriously ever.

    I love that Jacques Vaughn was able to drill it into this team that they’re entirely too talented to suck on defense. All it takes is a little effort when your offense is this legit.

    Joe, I know he lacks agility but his weight based strength is recognizable.
