At the 7:24 mark of the fourth quarter of the Golden State Warriors’ riveting win against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Steve Kerr subbed Steph Curry and Draymond Green back into the game. With them on the floor were Jordan Poole, Gary Payton II, and Donte DiVincenzo.
This lineup of Curry, Poole, DiVincenzo, Payton, and Green had played a grand total of zero minutes together before this game. More importantly — this lineup was small.
A quick reminder of the listed heights of the players in this lineup, per Basketball Reference:
- Curry: 6’2”
- Poole: 6’4”
- DiVincenzo: 6’4”
- Payton: 6’3”
- Green: 6’6”
The players at the two and three positions — Poole and DiVincenzo — are taller than Payton, the virtual four in this grouping.
