Appending to what you and GT have already stated, hare are the NET +/- lineups broken down individually:

Randle: +4
Clarkson: +3
Kuzma: +1
Ball: -1
Lopez: -1
Ingram: -2
KCP: -3
Nance: -4


Clearly Randle on the floor helps net the most, while Nance has the most loss. You can also see that all the starters are in the negatives, they're not helping each other at all.

I'm inclined to believe that Luke should try starting Randle over Nance to get some of that positive juices flowing with that lineup.

The topics in this Lonzo thread are everywhere. All these stats should be plastered in the Luke Walton thread if anything.

We’ve been talking about questionable rotations sadly since training camp.

Nance should not be starting-- for sure. And while Randle every bit derserves to be a starter, for a number of reasons, but the issue is (as evidenced by that last line item) that Nance is just not a good option at C. Even when playing with 4 of our best guys, a lineup with Larry at the C is weak. Now you can point to other factors but I just cannot see a situation where Randle is not our best backup C and the C that closes games.

I like Kuz starting at the PF in a mins rotation like this:

Lopez (22) | Randle (26)
Kuzma (32) | Nance (16)

End of the day, I feel like a Randle/Nance/Clarkson trio off the bench is athletic enough to cause major problems for opposing benches and it still allows Julius to close games.

Eh. It's dangerous to extrapolate from 12 minutes.

It’s actually more dangerous that Luke had only played that lineup for 12 mins.

I was actually more of a proponent of Kuzma over Nance as starter until I dove deep into the numbers and found that Randle has had the most positive impact in almost every single lineup.

The 2 lineups that need to get more burn to see if it's actually as legit as our eye test and analytics say is: Ball/KCP/BI/Kuz/JR and Ball/KCP/BI/Randle/Lopez

The fact that Luke isn't rolling out those 2 lineups for more minutes just to see if they can sustain their positive rating is ridiculous. He's either purposely ignoring the analytics via stubborness or he's too dumb to understand the info.

Clearly Randle on the floor helps net the most, while Nance has the most loss. You can also see that all the starters are in the negatives, they're not helping each other at all.

I'm inclined to believe that Luke should try starting Randle over Nance to get some of that positive juices flowing with that lineup.

There. Much better.

Negating the top half of the quote makes a big difference. I was just putting 2 and 2 together.

No, I'm not going to do that. With a long post like yours, I'm going to quote the part that I am responding to. If someone wants to go back and read your long post, all they need to do is scroll up. In fact, the mods have frequently asked people to cut down their quotes.

Let me help y'all out:

Randle doesn't make fiscal sense for the Lakers unless they abandon the 2-max-players-not-currently-on-the-team plan.

The 2-max plan is the correct strategy to pursue because it is the quickest way to assemble a championship roster. It may not work (might not get the 2 guys you want to sign, might sign them but not win it all, etc.), but if it is an option you have to explore it until it is no longer an option. Example: Jerry West & Shaq signing - West had ample reasons to break off the Shaq pursuit (couldn't match the money in Orlando, etc.), but went all in and when the Magic stumbled, the Lakers were the last team standing.

Again, I don't know that the results from 12 minutes constitute analytics. If you want to say that Randle should start over Nance, that's fine. I was never a fan of using Randle off the bench, so I'm not going to fight with you about that. But saying that analytics support it is a stretch.

I'm not as much of a fan of the Kuzma/Randle lineup. That's a small ball lineup that will work situationally, but I'm not sold on using it on a regular basis.

While I agree that there isn't enough data with a lot of our lineups to extrapolate that they'd be good in a larger sample, I think there's enough data on the current starting lineup to determine that we should be trying different things.

Oh, sure. In fact, we don't need analytics to reach that conclusion. We're 8-15, for goodness sake. Staying the course is not indicated.

the nutty thing is, we literally changed up the starting lineup after one game, sending deng to the bench

this starting lineup has had tons of time together and almost always gets us off to terrible starts - yet luke won't budge

That 12 min lineup you’re saying was not even used in my analysis.

I came to the conclusion that Randle would be the best fit in the starting lineup on my seperate lineup analysis. It wasn’t until Jordanesque put those two together with GTs that I saw that data of Randle in the lineup.

Suffice to say it took two different analysis to come up with basically the same conclusion.

Let me help y'all out:

Randle doesn't make fiscal sense for the Lakers unless they abandon the 2-max-players-not-currently-on-the-team plan.

The 2-max plan is the correct strategy to pursue because it is the quickest way to assemble a championship roster. It may not work (might not get the 2 guys you want to sign, might sign them but not win it all, etc.), but if it is an option you have to explore it until it is no longer an option. Example: Jerry West & Shaq signing - West had ample reasons to break off the Shaq pursuit (couldn't match the money in Orlando, etc.), but went all in and when the Magic stumbled, the Lakers were the last team standing.

Why does Randle not make fiscal sense? Am I missing something?

If Randle ends up getting 10-15 mill/yr, he’ll be a Laker. The Lakers can afford a 13 million dollar Randle, yes, even with George and James:

65 mill - (George and James)
20 mill - (Ingram, Ball, Nance, Hart, Caruso, Bryant, Thomas, Kuzma, Wear)
13 mill - (Randle caphold)
100 mill (approx.)

Four years, fifty million is good value for Randle. Very fiscally sensical, IMO.

While I agree that there isn't enough data with a lot of our lineups to extrapolate that they'd be good in a larger sample, I think there's enough data on the current starting lineup to determine that we should be trying different things.


Oh, sure. In fact, we don't need analytics to reach that conclusion. We're 8-15, for goodness sake. Staying the course is not indicated.


I think lineup data helps to identify where the team has been the weakest or strongest, within their obvious overall struggles.

And please quote my whole quote:

Negating the top half of the quote makes a big difference. I was just putting 2 and 2 together.


No, I'm not going to do that. With a long post like yours, I'm going to quote the part that I am responding to. If someone wants to go back and read your long post, all they need to do is scroll up. In fact, the mods have frequently asked people to cut down their quotes.


Then don't say it's dangerous for me to extrapolate some 12 minute data as if you were inferring I did from that half a quote, because that's just giving an answer to only half the data.

I think they’re playing Nance so much to showcase him. He gets great numbers as a starter.

That’s the only explanation I have.

Randle and Nance rarely ever share the floor anymore. Having a “PF” and a “Center” that can’t play together, makes it really complicated in distributing minutes, it becomes disjointed.

That’s why I’m such a proponent of experimenting with a Nance/Randle Center platoon. Since they are both the weakest shooters, let them sub for one another so it is assured they (Nance and Randle) are the only non shooter in each lineup. Just makes it more simple. I know the numbers with Nance at Center are horrendous, but I’d like to see how he’d respond if he was completely given that role (starting placeholder Center) and practiced and prepared for it. I think he’s an asset at Center, especially with two maxes.

People forget that Nance is 6’9 with huge hands and a 7’2 wingspan. The strength to play the position will come with preparation.

Looking at these net ratings and Ingram’s, it is evident how our starters have been negative.

No kidding? That's what it looks like when you're 8-15.
