Now that the roster is set, which 5 man lineup will have the highest NetRtg?

I'm going with a Rondo/Cousins bench unit

Rondo
Moore
Miller
Cunningham
Cousins

3 good 3 point shooters around a Rondo/Cousins P&R attack with a switch everything defensive ability that will likely be going up against 2nd units. If they don't tie Rondo and Cousins at the hip like they did with Jrue and AD post trade, you could sub Crawford for Rondo and I still think it will be one of the most effective lineups because it way outclasses most other 2nd units full of flawed, 1 way players.

Holiday
Moore
Davis

not sure how much time that one gets, but i like that mix of skills and IQ

as for lineups that will get more run, probably lineups replicating small ball from last year with Cunningham/Davis at 4/5

Holiday
Moore
Miller (???)
Cunningham
Davis

That unit could really beat up on a lot of teams bench. You have some decent spacing, and still have an elite talent on the floor. Curious how Crawford will actually be this year. It was a small sample size, but he was really solid last year and had above average efficiency. Hopefully that wasn't an anomaly.

Jrue
Crawford
Hill
Cunningham
Davis

Had the best overall net rating in their time on the court post all-star break.

Jrue
Moore
Hill
Davis
Cousins

Followed up second was the above lineup.

Without Hill its hard to say, but the OP's suggestion is a strong case given we will likely stagger minutes just like that. Really depends on how well Miller can be a consistent three point threat and not give up a ton defensively. And if Moore can find a bit more consistency. Otherwise you can see a situation where Rondo and Cousins play good consistently, but then Miller and Moore just cancel out good nights with cold streaks and its just a unit treading water.

Really depends on how they rotate, but I'd be interested to see a unit with:

Jrue
Clark
Moore
Cunningham
Davis

Clark
Holiday
Cunningham
AD
Cousins

I think this group has the most versatility. It's obviously a strength for each one individually but is it a strength as a group? My bet is that if given enough time, this group could find a rhythm and be deadly but who knows

I would love to see a Jrue - Clark - Allen - AD - Boogie lineup every once in a while. Enough defense, great offensive rebounding, 4 out of 5 are good shooters. Should be able to rebound and push the ball too. I am going with that lineup.

If clark is hitting and rondo is like last two years, you will see that lineup.
Clark has not got enough pt with W's to get sweaty and just play on autopilot. Hes always been jerked on short leash.

With the signing of Ian Clark, Tony Allen, and Darius Miller, along with Crawford and Moore still on the roster are we still on board with the idea of Jrue being our "SG"?

I added Darius because he has the ball skills to be a primary/co-primary ball handler and I put SG in quotes because Finch's offense doesn't specifically distinguish between the guard positions (hence I could foresee a lineup with Jrue/Darius/Cunningham/AD/Boogie)

He's only going to play off guard when Rondo is on the floor, when Rondo is off of the floor, Jrue is most assuredly going to be the ball handling guard.

One of those two (Rondo/Holiday) should be on the floor at all times.
