we have to play Dakota and Kendall together IMO. A lineup of Octues, Kendall, Dakota, Davis/Edwards, and Hammons/Haas needs to be on the floor when the offense starts to struggle. Well coached, athletic teams can successfully sag on us and not worry about pretty much everyone but Dakota and Kendall. I really liked what I saw when they were both in the game--even when they're not hitting shots, teams never leave them and it opens up lanes. Teams routinely just leave Octeus, Davis, Basil, Bryson, and even Edwards at times to go help the post, and when Hammons kicks it out, the lane is too congested to drive and those guys can't make them pay consistently with the 3 ball.

I understand that this may leave us vulnerable on the defensive end, however, Hammons helps clean up quite a bit on the defensive end whereas we have trouble making up for a lack of offensive spacing on the offensive end.
