Thank you, everyone always pretends it'd be possible to trot a player like this out and only ask them to shoot 35% from beyond the arc.

No one ever addresses the fact that they'd be a huge defensive liability on the other end of the floor.

It's the same reason you don't see the slow senior walk-on play until mass substitutions occurs late.

Alabama did this against Charleston in the NCAAT — they emptied the bench a little early, Charleston didn't, and those guys dropped a 30-point lead down to 14 in about four minutes. Our guys couldn't score, and we couldn't stop them.

It's not just offense, it's defense.
