Unveiling the 2019-20 Boston Celtics “death lineup”

The 2014-15 Golden state Warriors revolutionized the game of Basketball when Steve Kerr used 6-7 forward Draymond Green as the team’s primary center in that year’s NBA Finals. Kerr showed that you can not only win, but dominate when using five versatile wing players on the floor at once. The 2019-20 Boston Celtics can follow that model in hopes of similar success.

With a roster chock full of perimeter players, Boston finds themselves with a “good problem” of scheming up ways of how to utilize all of their talented bodies. Though the Boston Celtics cannot exactly replicate the makeup of the vaunted “death lineup” of Golden state, they could form a position less quintet that serves the essential functions of said unit.
