My comment was inspired by some former NFL offenses with bad defenses, that still almost always win games, because they could outscore opponents.
What do you think about the above starting five? Would that work or they would be outplayed?
Luka-Brunson-THJ-Bullock-Bobi?
Gosh, I can't say I've seriously considered that one, lol. But no time like the present for doing so. That unit would certainly contain a lot of offensive firepower. We may well see a Luka-Brunson-THJ-Bullock foursome run out there from time to time, when they see a need to go small.
My initial reaction is that the five-man lineup listed might get pasted on the defensive end, and I'm not sure whether they would be able to rely on outscoring the opponent, especially since they seldom play together. Of course, your premise assumes that they would get substantial time together on the court, and that could matter.
I don't know that I expect us to see much of that lineup, but I could see the first four with another big coming in situationally. And heck, I could even be wrong about Bobi!
