Their bigs are Markannen and Olynyk, providing some size-with-spacing, and they employ multiple penetrating guards who create the offense (Conley, Sexton, Clarkson). Sprinkle in a 3-and-D defender or two, and bam it's an unexpectedly good team.
It´s astonishing that some teams are slow to jump on the train. 5-out spacing. Multiple ballhandlers. Switchable and versatile defenders. Some size. It´s not rocket science when most fans are smart enough to understand that it´s leading to better results than early 00s lineups and spacing.
Same for basic stuff like spain pick and roll. A coach that isn´t asking his team to spam it probably spent the last 10 years under a rock.
