re: Small sample size, but is this the lineup of the future?

You do realize we aren’t talking about guys who have shot well for the last 10 games? We are are talking about guys who the defense has to respect as shooters. Herb is not a shooter because he creates no spacing. Naji, Jose, Dyson, JV, BI are all non shooters as far as a defense is concerned. Saying Zion should play with two or more shooters at a time isn’t an opinion. It is a fact. Look at the numbers over the last two seasons. It not only maximizes our shooters but it unlocks our BEST player. The fact that Zion and Trey sub in for each other and don’t play together more is inexcusable.

If all you're saying is Zion and Trey should play together more, then I agree. The original post went way beyond that.
And Herb has been terrific with the open 3 all season, if he gets an open 3 because his man doubles Zion, I'll take that.

Herb is now shooting 38% from 3 on 125 shots
He is finishing at the rim (0-5') at 65%, on 128 shots. If you run him off the line, you're going to pay for it.
Herb has taken only 38 shots from 6' to inside the 3P line. He's 9-38 (24%) from that terrible shot location, but good thing only 13% of his shots are bad shots, which is why he has a really efficient 60.2 TS%
The fact of the matter is it doesn't matter who's on the court, teams will always have to stop Zion and BI from getting in the paint. It doesn't matter if it's Trey or CJ or Herb or Dyson in the corner, his man is going to leave him open if he has to stop Zion or BI from getting to the rim. That's what happened in the Clippers game. They basically said Zion and BI aren't goign to beat us.
That's easier said than done, but there are two teams that can say that, and actually be successful with it b/c of their lineup, and that's the Clippers and Nuggets. Kawhi/PG/Zubac is a tough defense, as is Gordon/MPJ/Jokic.
