Proposing lineup strategies

I’m thinking about proposing some lineups. It makes sense to stagger Sengun with a stretch big during Eason's minutes. To avoid issues, I'd avoid double non-shooter pairings like Sengun, Landale, and Amen Thompson together. Integrating "five-out" principles with Jeff Green at center could be beneficial. Since it's December 27, 2025, let’s reference the previous season's trends without claiming anything recent. I want to suggest tactical adjustments and considerations for the Suns, especially around Durant's usage and strategies to help him thrive.Adjusting strategies

For Sengun, teams might gap off him, so using inverted pick-and-roll with guards cutting could help. I’m thinking about employing an elbow hub and running Chicago actions with shooters like Jalen Green and others. We should fill corners to keep the low man occupied. If a five-big lineup is used, it can collapse spacing, so only use it when wanting to switch everything. It's crucial to ensure three players can shoot at least 35% from three to avoid clogging the lane. Let’s also suggest micro-adjustments for his shot diet and defensive schemes.Quick action items

I need to focus on several key metrics to watch, like free throw rate, rim attempts, and the differences between pull-up threes versus catch-and-shoots, keeping touch time under 2 seconds.

I’m thinking of specific play sets like Horns elbow splits for KD and Spain pick-and-rolls with him as the screener. For spacing rules involving Sengun, we'll need two shooters above the break and avoid certain player combinations.

Defensively, we need to be careful with KD by minimizing heavy switching to prevent tiring him out. Finally, I should clearly define when to use a five-big lineup and how to make it effective.
