What it is
- Lineup Identity Defined by Archetype Combination is a coaching concept that an NBA lineup is now described entirely through archetype combination.
- One dominant creator (Primary Ball Handler), secondary creation (Shot Creator), spacing via movement (the Movement Shooter), big-man versatility (Versatile Big can pass and space).

How it works
- Offensive profile: One dominant creator (Primary Ball Handler), secondary creation (Shot Creator), spacing via movement (the Movement Shooter), big-man versatility (Versatile Big can pass and space).
- Defensive profile: The Point of Attack defender (Wing Stopper) handles perimeter pressure; the Versatile Big can switch or help.
- Spacing: Three legitimate 3-point shooters (Primary Ball Handler, Shot Creator, Movement Shooter); the Versatile Big spacing the floor at 15+ feet.
- Weaknesses: No Stationary Shooter (corner floor spacer), no low-post scorer, no 5-on-5 rim anchor (Versatile Big implies versatility, not elite rim protection).
- Offensive profile: Primary Ball Handler runs PnR (into the post with Anchor Big), Slasher attacks downhill, Off-Screen Shooter runs designed actions for catch-and-shoot 3s, Post Scorer operates in mid-range and post.
