I see this a lot in college, but some teams will use any number of guards or forwards in a game (GGGGF/C, GGGFF/C, GFFFC, etc.) instead of going with the standard GGFFC format. I've always found this strange.

It is not a college basketball exclusive question, but I do see this a lot in college, which is why I referred to it in my question.

Ohio State uses 3 guards, a forward and a center. Its been working for them all year. That is just their starting lineup, subs are in pretty quickly. Its all about having your best 5 on the floor. Do you REALY need more than 1 forward with Greg Oden is in the middle? Other times they have only 2 guards, 2 forwards, and a center. Matchups baby (stolen from Dick Vitale). With a big guy in the middle and a forward on backup, 3 shooters can pass around the perimiter for 30 seconds (in college) and shoot or find the open big guy in the middle.

Ok you ask who the greatest player for each of these teams is but for the Giants we're suppose to be excluding Willie Mays? Why is that? Because he is by far the greatest player in Giants history. And post 1958? Why ask for "in the history of these following teams" but we're suppose to exclude pre 1958? I should have not even answered this question since you put restrictions on your question after you asked it. Therefore, Dodgers: Don Drysdale Giants: Willie Mays A's: Rickey Henderson Angels: Chuck Finley

Coaches like Don Nelson and Mike D'Antoni like to play uptempo basketball where they are always pushing the ball up and scoring a lot. A typical GGFFC lineup is slower compared to a GGGFC lineup so the GGGFC lineup works to their advantage.

Nellie actually often uses a Point Power Forward in Dirk Nowitski.

ok..is this a college question?if so it relates to the talent[or lack of] you may have in your lineup or the opponents lineup...the style of play..fastbreak..low post.. what conference you are in..a center dominated/guards and forwards/is it a conf where 6'8 guys are big/6'4 guys playing power forward/full court press where you have to rotate alot of guys in/out..there is nothing strange about the 'non standard' lineup..its about playing to strengths/weaknesses.....
