Let's say we have a ten point lead with 2 minutes left. We want to put up some points, but more than anything else we want to get a few stops to seal the deal. Who do we want in? I think initially it will be:
1- Smart
2-Brown
3-Hayward
4- Crowder
5- Horford
Might be short on boards, but 5 long guys who can switch everything. They'd make life miserable for Cavs or other wing-heavy lineups. Probably you'd put in Baynes against a team with a good big.
Down the road, once some of our Rookies develop, I think this is your lockdown lineup:
1-Smart
2- Brown
3- Hayward
4- Ojeleye
5- Theis
Theis gives you rim protection but he's still a rim runner and three point shooter on offense.
Ojeleye is the epitome of a 3&D guy.
Thoughts?
