Let’s Play Small Ball

This lineup may seem a little bit farfetched, but I don’t think it would be too terrible.

RJ Davis
Seth Trimble
D’Marco Dunn
Leaky Black
Puff Johnson

Similar to the last lineup, this isn’t one that I would suggest for long periods of time. However, this unit not only can be good on the defensive side of the ball but is one that would work well in transition, something that we all know the UNC basketball program likes to do routinely.

Against a team with a smaller lineup, this could work in the Tar Heels’ favor, but given the team’s depth in the frontcourt, it’s not likely that Johnson will see many minutes in the five.
