Lineup 3: Clutch situations

  • Point Guard: Russell Westbrook
  • Shooting Guard: Dennis Schroder
  • Small Forward: Paul George
  • Power Forward: Jerami Grant
  • Center: Steven Adams

Projected Offensive Rating: 115.5

Projected Defensive Rating: 109.0

Projected Net Rating: +6.6

Projected 3-Point Percent: 33.33 percent

This is probably the most intriguing lineup the Thunder could play. It’s a mix of creation, versatility and athleticism that could be lethal in clutch time

Russell Westbrook and Dennis Schroder can create chaos for the opponent defense with their raids into the paint. With this action Steven Adams and Jerami Grant could take advantage via  rolling and cutting to the rim.
