The Most Disappointing Line-up in the NBA?

[new city champ]

Zion aside, this is the core of our problem. Comments? Explanations? Via The Athletic


Lineup: CJ McCollum | Trey Murphy III | Brandon Ingram | Herb Jones | Jonas Valančiūnas

Stats: 142 minutes | -20.6 net rating | 107.3 offensive rating | 127.9 defensive rating

I am stunned at how bad this lineup has been this season. The Pelicans have dealt with a ton of missed games, and you?d love to see Zion Williamson be in their heaviest used lineups. That?s just not the case. This is their most used lineup. Just 18 games and 142 minutes. And it?s been atrocious. There is too much talent in this lineup to be this bad. The defense shouldn?t be that bad. Neither should the offense. The Pelicans have spiraled out as the season has gone on, and they don?t get a rush of health to make it easier. But this lineup is one of the most disappointing in basketball.

I saw a post from someone in the media who broke it down recently. Our lineups with CJ and BI together seem to underperform drastically and they work better without one or the other. It’s a situation where the sum has been less than the parts.

And when zion went down some where like, well that's basically our play in/playoff lineup we'll be alright.....
