    So BI and Zion without CJ have the best net rating of any combination of only two of them

    And CJ without BI and Zion has the best net rating of only one of them.

    This sounds to me like CJ should be moved to a 6th man role

    There are 6 positive net rating lineups with at least 60 minutes. BI is in three of them while CJ and Zion are in 4. You’re aggreating a bunch of line-ups and minutes that don’t have significant amounts of time.

    Lineup| Rating
    —|—
    L. Nance Jr. – Z. Williamson – N. Marshall – T. Murphy III – J. Alvarado| 29.4
    C. McCollum – L. Nance Jr. – B. Ingram – H. Jones – T. Murphy III | 24.3
    J. Valanciunas – B. Ingram – Z. Williamson – H. Jones – D. Daniels| 20.7
    J. Valanciunas – C. McCollum – B. Ingram – H. Jones – T. Murphy III| 15.7
    C. McCollum – L. Nance Jr. – Z. Williamson – H. Jones – T. Murphy III| 15.5
    J. Valanciunas – C. McCollum – Z. Williamson – H. Jones – T. Murphy III| 1.0

    Even if you expand it to just 48, that’s one more line-up with a 1.6. Our two most played line-ups with all 3 of them are net negatives, but our third most played line-u swaps out BI and is a positive.

    These ratings mean little because availability still matters. If Zion and BI only play 60 games as interim tag team injury champions then what? As bad as CJ has been he is tough as nails, your putting your whole stock that BI/Zion will be successful without CJ but neither those two guys can stay healthy. If we have successful season and one of them gets injured before playoffs then we are right back where we started.
