As a data analyst obsessed with tactical efficiency, I break down why sticking to natural positions—rather than forcing 'upward compatibility'—might unlock your team's true potential. Analyzing a hypothetical Spurs lineup with Fox, Castle, KJ, Barnes, and Wembanyama, I explore how balanced rotations (hello, Vassell's leadership off the bench!) optimize both chemistry and salary-cap logic. Data doesn't lie—sometimes the obvious choice is the revolutionary one.
