    Obviously quite different but reminds me a little bit of our 2016-17 starting lineup...two shooters and an aggressive point guard

      It's intriguing because we may run into a team that wants to go small and we could match up this way to give them a taste of their own medicine. I think I might like this lineup more on D if Tils took Rui's spot, tbh.

        One of the things I like about this part of the schedule is that it gives Few time to try out different things like this, to see how they might work.

          Yes, I agree, was gonna suggest Tils over Rui but didn't want to be seen as heretical....

            Geno really takes the pressure off of Josh allowing him to play off the ball and hunt for shots. This will also open up the inside if teams want to double Rui and Clarke.

              This lineup was predicted preseason by one of the more knowledgeable posters (I think it was MileHigh?) who noted Few's propensity for 2-guard lineups. At the time, and not quite realizing how good BC was (and Tillie's broken ankle) the thought was Rui/Tillie + Geno-Josh-Zach. At this point it's pretty unlikely to imagine BC not part of our key lineups.

                Clarkie is integral to this lineup, the last line of D.

                    Obviously, Tillie needs time to get up to snuff. No doubt he will get there. He seems to be a bit surprised when on the receiving end of passes. Like he anticipates them a moment too late.

                    Crandall is picking right up on the defensive end. I haven't seen much drop off from his overall game. Then again, the competition isn't quite what it was as before.

                      Absolutely. He is the key to post season success. They aren't advancing past the second weekend without his "A" game.

                          Agree. They couldn't even beat the Cavs with that lineup!

                          But we don't play nobody.

                            JP is a good 3 point shooter, and can certainly contribute playing off the ball, but he is the master at running the offense. I like the lineup with Geno for defense as long as JP runs the point and controls the offense. There is a sharp decline in point production when JP is not running the offense.
