Now that we have a little time before the next game, here is some lineup information through the first 6 games. I sorted all of the combinations and used an eye test to narrow the combinations to the top dozen or so combinations that played at least 2 times and produced the top positive performance.
The season is three parts in my mind - with Josh Cunningham (2 games), learning what they have without Josh (2 games), generating a new game plan.
The top combination was from part 1 with Charles, Scoochie, Darrel, Josh and Xeyrius. It was used 3 times for around 2 1/2 minutes and generated 2.55 points per minute.
The most used lineups are the starting lineups. That lineup in part one was Charles, Kyle, Scoochie, Josh and Ryan. It was used for a little over 17 minutes and was productive at a rate of 1.05 ppm. The current starting lineup replaces Josh with Sam and has played together for around 32 minutes at 0.25 ppm.
Common first substitution from the starting lineup is with the forwards. Pairing Xerius with Sam was a surprise to me. It has been used for around 16 minutes and resulted in negative performance at -0.43 ppm. The other option is to pair Xeyrius with Ryan which has been used just under 20 minutes and was productive at a rate of 1.11 ppm.
I have noted that there are good results when Sam and Xeyrius are paired. One lineup is Charles, Scoochie, Darrel, Sam and Xeyrius. It has been used for about 12 minutes and is producing at a rate of 2.54 ppm.
John Crosby also needs to be part of the conversation. His best combination is Charles, Darrel, John, Sam and Ryan. It played for a little over 7 minutes and produced at a rate of 1.24 ppm
I have looked at the 2 player combination of John and Scoochie. That is at a net zero. The Sam / Xeyrius combination took a -11 hit in game 6 and is at +14. One other combination looks good - Charles and Xeyrius at +36 but anyone looks good with Charles since he is +56 for the season.
