5 Death lineups that can change the NBA this season

#4 Toronto Raptors

San Antonio Spurs v Golden State Warriors - Game One
Kawhi Leonard

Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green. Kyle Lowry, Serge Ibaka, and OG Anunoby

I imagine this would be every wing player not named LeBron James’ nightmare. Very physical and disruptive on the defensive end, single coverage on the best player of the opposing team can be done by any of Leonard, Green, or Anunoby

Everybody can space the floor even as Anunoby develops his outside stroke. It will be a tough cover inside and out for anybody left unchecked. Elite big men may pose a problem, but double teams with Ibaka and any of the four can cover that lapse up.

All in all, this is an elite defensive unit with enough scoring punch to take a game over. The only issue is the assimilation of the new recruits Leonard and Green. How well they fit and perform will figure out how dangerous this lineup could work
