The Finishers

Jrue/Buddy/Moore/Hill/Davis

This lineup is a favorite to close out games. These four players should compliment each other on both sides of the floor, bring the energy and tenacity the lineups have been sorely needing. It also keeps the opposing offenses honest with Jrue’s suffocating defense up top, Buddy’s spot up shooting, Moore and Hill’s wingspans plus versatility and Davis’ rim protection.

Next: Langston Galloway Fits the Mold

Davis can be known to fall out of position on defense, but that’s where the experience and willingness of defenders Moore and Hill will become so valuable. Q-Pon is also a strong candidate to break this lineup, being a great leader and communicator on the defensive end and in the locker room. If he can continue his strong three point shooting from 2014, it’s easy to see him splitting time with any of the Buddy, Hill, and Moore combinations.
