Everyone's focused on superstar trades and MVP races, but the biggest shift happening in the NBA right now is how teams are rethinking floor spacing.

We're seeing more 5-out lineups than ever, but the teams actually winning aren't the ones with five shooters on the floor — they're the ones with playmakers who can attack closeouts.

The league's best offenses right now aren't spacing the floor with shooting. They're spacing it with threat. There's a difference.

A shooter standing in the corner commands one defender. A player who can shoot, drive, and pass out of the short roll commands the entire defensive rotation.

This is why some teams with elite shooting numbers are still mediocre offensively — they have spacing, but no gravity.
