Lineup Four

IV: Jerami Grant, Nerlens Noel, T.J. McConnell, Ish Smith, Hollis Thompson

This lineup appeared in four of the Philadelphia 76ers games, and had a aggregate +112.5 rating as a group. While the team was scored less as a group than the previous lineup, the presence of Nerlens Noel paired with Jerami Grant was felt in a big way, as rebounds and blocked shots were much more frequent.

The lineup appeared a total of four times in the season, and played together for just six minutes out of the 48 minutes overall. With Noel and Grant in the mix, the rebounds were very strong, as well as the discipline of the unit – committing only 7.5 personal fouls.

In this lineup, shooting accuracy was somewhat reduced, but still well above average for the team. This lineup attempted the most three-point shots of the top five, while also suffering above average blocked shots when attempting to score.

The distribution of the lineup continued to be solid.
