As the New Orleans Pelicans sit back and re-evaluate how things are going through five games, one evaluation tool could be looking at what the best and worst lineups have been so far.

Jamahl Mosley and his staff have been trying to find what works with this team. Here's what we can glean from the best and worst lineups by using net rating (and a minimum of 20 minutes on the court together so far):

Offensive Rating: 114.3 
TS%: 49.1 
TOV%: 6.1 
ORB%: 24.1% 
Defensive Rating: 153.1 
Opp TS%: 67.7 
Opp TOV%: 8.2 
Opp ORB%: 47.4 

Yes, the worst group on the team has been the starting unit from the first two games before Yves Missi went down. There was a little bit of hope had the team embraced the roles, but that didn't happen. Instead, it led to a lot of on-court conflict and poor ball movement.

This group had a -38.8 net rating over 24 minutes. They were about league average in terms of scoring, but they were extremely inefficient, poor on the boards and a complete negative on defense. Murray, Fears and Murphy have all graded out very poorly on that side of the ball so far this season. A 67.7% opponent true shooting is unsustainable for success.

The rebounding in this group was poor as well, as Missi was the only real size and power on the boards, and he was a below-average defensive rebounder last year. That was one of the big worries for this roster.  

Offensive Rating: 129.3 
TS%: 66.4 
TOV%: 13.6 
ORB%: 29.4% 
Defensive Rating: 120.1 
Opp TS%: 55.5
Opp TOV%: 11.1 
Opp ORB%: 33.3 

Interestingly enough, there is no overlap between the two units. The bench unit from the first few games looked great. They have a +9.5 net rating over 21 minutes of work.

The main difference from this group was that there was a bit more ball movement from Poole than the other two guards. Herb Jones brought the defense and Saddiq Bey is always trustworthy. Derik Queen is also someone who has been off to a nice start this season.

This group had a much-higher true shooting despite Poole being inefficient. They were still below average on the boards, but it was just a way more solid unit. This is the reason why people were excited about this team's depth this year.
