Quin Snyder’s rotation decisions this season have been nothing short of baffling.
The headline of his ridiculous lineup decisions is the Keaton Wallace-Luke Kennard-Vit Krejci lineup he is obsessed with rolling out. In last night’s loss to the Wizards, the Hawks’ second-most-used lineup featured a backcourt containing all three players. As you might expect, the Hawks lost these minutes.
There’s a lot to unpack here. First off, these three players should never share the floor. They are Atlanta’s three worst perimeter players in the rotation. Why would you play them all together? The net rating with all three players on the floor is -20, which is bad enough to lose you games.
