NBA:
If Smart starts, what would be the optimal four-man lineup with Ayton and LeBron to maximize Lakers' defensive rating while maintaining offense?
Qwiket AI:
Smart at point-of-attack, Ayton anchoring the rim, LeBron driving offense, and Reaves spacing and cutting would create a high-floor defense with enough shooting to stretch the floor. Rui could be a late-game sub if spacing is required, but the core should stay intact to maintain defensive pressure and outlet passes.
