His fouls/minute has got to be super high - so I don't know how many minutes he could play, even if we went all in on him.
I'm all for him getting minutes. I just am not a fan of putting him at the low post with his back to basket and trying to run the offense through him every time (which is what we seem to do when he's in there).
On O, put him on the block, facing the basket. Let him go for putbacks and feed him if one of our dribblers ever gets any penetration. (as I said after the Nebraska game, they were able to do this with Sam Frickin' Hoiberg doing the draw and dish to their Directional Dakota State transfer).
And, Aday is starting to get a lot of over the back calls. On the other hand, I've never seen him secure a rebound by reaching over someone's back. Mick needs to tell him: Stop doing that!
