Kanter and Millsap are both active on the offensive boards.
One of them keeps the ball alive, but then the other is already getting back on defense.
Let them work as a rebounding team, and both work for the offensive boards together.
This squad could get out and run.
The other two guys are in there to defend the transition.
Burks to look to intercept fast break passes.
Evans to block fast break layups.

High energy run and gun approach to be used for short periods.
The 5th guy would be whoever has the freshest legs at the time, that plays well in this approach.

I say Tinsley or Watson as the 5th guy. Harris can't run ****.
 
Agree Harris isn't running as much as he should. I guess he's thinking too much out there; he definitely CAN run, unless he's injured again... Against the Lakers Watson looked real slow. Tinsley is probably the best all-round PG we got; more athletic and better basketball skills than Watson, runs an offense better than Harris...
 
I was thinking Burks could be either the SG or PG in this scenario...
It appears to me that there may be times when the team should forget about the playbook,
and just find 5 guys who can match or exceed the other team's hustle and running.
