Bucks could theoretically run one of the biggest lineups in NBA history with 3 7-footers since Portis and Lopez can shoot 3's: Dame, Middleton, Portis, Giannis, and Lopez (alien.top)

Perimeter defense would obviously be a big problem, but at the same time it would be near impossible to score at the rim. And they would get so many rebounds.

Dame: 6'2

Middleton: 6'7

Portis: 6'11

Giannis: 6'11

Lopez: 7'1

Edit: People are objecting to calling 6'11 players 7-footers even though it's been done forever. KD is called a 7-footer. Either way, point of the post was to discuss potential of a huge lineup by a contender

Magic or Jazz probably has the biggest starting lineup

Just say "one of the biggest lineups" and take out "3 7-footers". Not that big of a deal OP lol

Jazz could run a theoretical lineup of Olynyk, Markkanen, Collins, Yurtseven, and Kessler. It wouldn't be very good, but Point Olynyk is a thing, and it has three shooters (if Collins can find his stroke again). Yurt and Kessler are fairly mobile bigs as well.

Bud played jumbo lineups quite a bit. Toronto wasn't opposed to playing jumbo lineups which is where Griffin comes from but I don't think that's gonna happen in Milwaukee with the schemes he wants to run and he emphasizing 3's.
