In the last of season, the Lineup of Death of Golden State Warrior seemed unbeatable. Stephen Curry was surrounded by Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala and Klay Thompson. However, we saw in the playoffs how the Oklahoma City Thunder and Cleveland Cavaliers succeeded in cutting off the Warriors' source of offense.
The wings of LeBron James and the agility of Tristan Thompson seemed to be the answer to the Warriors' Lineup of Death. Now, in the coming season, let us see the future lineup of the different teams.
Detroit Pistons Lineup of Death boasts of Reggie Jackson and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in their defense, with wingspan of nearly 7 feet and 6.8 feet, respectively. The team's forward, Tobias Harris, Stanley Johnson and Marcus Morris, are all big men standing at 6.7 feet. Meanwhile, Keith Langlois believes that putting Andre Drummond at the center and Jon Leuer at power forward would also be a powerful lineup for the Pistons.
If the strategy of the Warriors is offense, the Lineup of Death of Orlando Magic would be defense. The Ringer said the Bismack Biyombo and Serge Ibaka are the two fastest players in the league, and even the top two best blockers. Mario Hezonja, 6-foot-8, and Aaron Gordon, 6-foot-9, are strong guards to reckon with considering their size and speed. Evan Fourneir is very good in the pick-and-roll and creating shots for other team players.
Utah Jazz's Lineup of Death is said to be the most formidable that can go against the Warriors. They have the fastest trio in the person of Alec Burks, Dante Exum and Trey Lyles. The team's lineup is quite versatile as Quin Snyder can draw a different lineup anytime. Boris Diaw and Joe Johnson are both perimeter-oriented big man. Gordon Hayward and Rodney Hood will, of course, be the primary small-ball lineup.
