Interesting 3 man lineup stats

Yesterday I was curious how many minutes CJ, BI, and Zion have played together this year, and that number is 172. They have a net rating of +16.5 in those minutes, which is their sixth best 3 man lineup with 150+ minutes. For comparison sake, CJ, Naji, and Trey have played 409 minutes together, which is the Pelicans third most used 3 man lineup.

What I found most interesting though, is the Pelicans top three 3 man lineups all hold a negative net rating. Jonas, CJ, and Trey lead with 521 minutes played, with a net rating of -3.1. Jonas, CJ, and Naji come in second at 416 minutes with a net rating of -4.4, and the before mentioned CJ, Naji, and Trey come in 3rd with 409 minutes and a net rating of -4.9.

If you look at the two teams ahead of us in the West, the Nuggets top three lineups are at +14.4, +15.1, and +15.7. You have to go all the way down to their 14th most used lineup to find one that's under +10, and their 19th most used lineup to find one that's in the negatives.

Memphis is at +13.1, +9.8, and +17.2. You have to go to their 22nd most used lineup to find one with a negative net rating. 9 of the Pelicans 22 most used lineups have a negative net rating.

Yes I know it's selective, but I went down that rabbit hole looking at CJ, BI, and Zion. When you look at it from that perspective though, it's wildly impressive where we currently sit.
