Assuming DA doesn't do anything crazy this off-season. BS just like he did to start this season will very likely start

Irving
Brown
Tatum
Hayward
Horford

The following is a list in order of their career 3pt %

Irving       .388%
Brown      .379%
Tatum      .434%
Hayward  .368%
Horford    .370%

This makes Gordon Hayward the lowest % 3 point shooter in the Celtics Starting lineup!   
Mavs
Wiz
Hornet

Lol, that’s insane.

Is there any starting lineup in the league that can boast five really strong shooters?

Golden State has 2 of the best shooters ever and one of the best scorers ever, but Green is a pretty weak shooter and ZaZa has no perimeter game at all.
Houston has Capela

Which is why I still think one of the swing players should start on the bench and be on the court stater minutes and in crunch time.

Totally agree.  Tatum is just not able to handle big PFs yet.  Maybe one day when he fills out.  I'd have Tatum as 6th man and start Al Horford at the four with either Baynes or Monroe at the five.  Depending on the lineup.

Or have Morris start as the four.  But I like Morris and Smart off the bench so much.

Morris and Smart is so much fun. Add Tatum, who has great chemistry with Morris, plus Monroe and TRoz and you have a nasty nasty bench plus a deadly starting lineup

Here's a crazy stat I'd like to see next season: All five starters play at least 70 games.
"There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'"

depth should help this as BS will be able to really cut back the minutes of Kyrie, Gordon and AL.

If the Cs are able to retain Smart he will join Rozier and Morris to create a bench group with 3 viable 6th man candidates.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Spurs like approach to back to backs and veteran rest next season.

With relative health, I feel really good about that lineup. They're not only all good 3-point shooters, but every one of them will be capable of running a pick and roll next year.
