People have suggested it but it would kill our spacing. While Jon's encouraging Maliq to shoot the corner 3 and he hit a BIG one against KU...he's not a reliable threat or a ball handler to pull the defense out.I’d love to see some Brown/Maluach tandem action. Maluach can guard the lane, and the rest can be more aggressive clamping on the outside. If their men get by, Mal is there to protect the rim. And Brown on the perimeter is such a PITA for the other team, it has to disrupt their offensive scheme.
Bottom line is we couldn't get to the rim in any capacity with brown & maluach playing at the same time. We could try it, but i suspect the staff knows this, the foul trouble risks, and chooses to split our big guys' minutes that way.
