I went all in on Karl Malone as the ultimate “Death Lineup” Wildcard. Imagine Karl Malone in Draymond Green’s role for the Warriors in the Hampton 5 Lineup. That was what I built my team around.
1 - Kyle Lowry / John Wall
2 - Jimmy Butler / Marques Johnson
3 - James Worthy / Glenn Robinson
4 - Kevin Durant / Bobby Jones
5 - Karl Malone / Nate Thurmond
My “Fab Four” - Butler, Worthy, KD and Malone all play 40 minutes each. Lowry, Wall and Thurmond play 16 minutes as a “traditional” PG and C (respectively) with Marques Johnson playing 11 minutes as a backup 2, Robinson playing 11 minutes as a backup 3 and Bobby Jones splitting his time as a backup 4/5 as needed.
Butler also gets some minutes as the primary ball handler (like he did in the most recent playoffs) so I can have a lineup of all 5 players between 6’7” and 6’11” and switchable as hell on defense.
