'25 Playoff Rotation Predictions: A Collaborative Deep Dive

[Ghost of Podkolzin]

I have yet to read or even contribute to this cool topic, but on the idea of playoff rotation, being able to prevent the opponent from even shooting is an important trait. So far this season, this is who are the best in the NBA at it:




Klay and Grimes being both in the top 10 has to be considered for "closing" lineups. Luka+Kyrie will always be there, but perhaps there is a chance we can move Klay to a small ball 4 position and have Grimes at the 3 in certain scenarios. One such scenario could be against Boston's lineup of 4 guards+1 big. Grimes is quick enough and big enough to guard Jaylen Brown. I think Klay has what it takes to stay on Tatum. 

Just thinking out loud here.

Interesting.  I never knew this was being measured.  When I did my defensive rating system, I used opponents' missed shots, but didn't think about the shots they didn't attempt.
