The NBA's New Lineups Of Death | The Ringer

So many improved scenarios. Hayward kicking out to Hill for a 3 instead of Neto.
Favors being able to work in the paint as 2-3 of Johnson, Hayward, Hood and Hill roam the perimeter.
Gobert holding onto the ball as Exum and Hill get it to him above the waist.
Gobert, Lyles, Hayward, Hood and Exum running teams out of the building.
Hayward, Hill and Exum shutting down the 3 point shot.
Diaw having shooters all around him for kickouts and cuts. Like Diaw to Burks or out to Hill for a 3.
I'm super excited to see if Snyder can put it all together.
Lyles is 20, Favors is 25. The offensive potential of a team with 4 floor spacers compared to 3 floor spacers is enormous.
Clogged lane in the NBA = death sentence. You gimp the effectiveness of any slashers on your team, which on ours is a bunch: Burks, Hayward, Exum, Hood (sorta)
Also Favors is a good defensive player, but not close to great. His defensive RPM the last 3 years: 1.80, 2.18, 1.61
Ultimately, I think it comes down to this. Is Favors good enough we want to try and buck this?
This is an interesting chart but isn't "league average 3's made" more important?
