During a game, should Stan Experiment with this type of lineup?

Hedo
JJ
Lewis
Cook
Dwight

Four shooters and an inside player.

A HUGE lineup with matchup problems everywhere..

On defense we play a 2,1,2 zone or a 3,2 and I think that lineup could pull away from teams and quickly.

Umm...no?

Yeah, I'm going to go with no. Unless, of course, you want every point guard in the league to get career highs in steals whenever they play us.

Ew...

In a point-forward lineup, you're still supposed to have a true PG in as well...

Sure if there is less than 5 secs in the game and we're down by 3 with the ball. Other than that, no.

Just because Hedo can pass doesn't make him a point. Just makes him a good passer for a SF.

Ron Harper was indeed a true PG for Pippen and Co. controlling the ball.

You think the Magic turn it over to much now??? The proposed lineup will be an offensive-fouling machine. It will have far to many lane violations; three second calls; illegal picks. Etc.
