The lineups we’d like to see from every NBA team

Southeast

Atlanta Hawks: Trae Young, Kevin Huerter, Cam Reddish, De’Andre Hunter, John Collins

The youth movement is taking over Atlanta and they all have complementary skill sets as well. Young, shooters and Collins is a fun offense to deploy, even if it will cede a lot of points on the other end. The Hawks have found a happy medium of developing young talent while also being competent; they’ll get even better as the season unfolds.

Charlotte Hornets: Terry Rozier, Malik Monk, Dwayne Bacon, Miles Bridges, PJ Washington

The Hornets might be the worst team in the league, so why not see what the young guys have together? Rozier and Monk can split ball-handling duties, Bridges and Washington are a spry frontcourt (and likely the future down low), and Bacon is a solid shooter (43.7 percent from 3 last season on 2.0 attempts per game) that holds it all together.

Miami Heat: Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro, Justise Winslow, Meyers Leonard, Bam Adebayo

Erik Spoelstra loves giving playmaking duties to unconventional positions and Butler is a perfect match for that. Winslow gets some touches in that regard too, Herro provides excellent spacing and that frontcourt might literally jump out of the gym.

Orlando Magic: Markelle Fultz, Terrence Ross, Aaron Gordon, Al-Farouq Aminu, Jonathan Isaac

There aren’t too many lineup combos with shooting in Orlando, but there are plenty that can prevent points. This one can suffocate all kinds of opposing lineups as the Magic embrace length upon length upon length. Fultz’s upside is too great to exclude and Isaac’s unique skill set belongs at the 5 in 2019.

Washington Wizards: Isaiah Thomas, Jordan McRae, Admiral Schofield, Rui Hachimura, Davis Bertans

If you’re going to be bad, at least be fun. This lineup does exactly that, spreading the floor to try and revive Isaiah Thomas’ career. Bertans (an underrated pickup) has experience at the 5 and the rookie forwards will have room to attack mismatches effectively.
