There's no reason to play guys like Traylor or Lucas in today's game. They provide nothing offensively. They cannot hit open shots and don't ever require double teams. The court becomes "clogged" when they're on it. Self would've had Lucas posting up Cauley-Stein last night and Mason driving wildly to the bucket.
If you don't spread the court and have guys who can hit 15-foot jumpers, it's way too easy to help-side defense in the event Mason or Selden or Oubre even do beat their guy. And that explains why we led the NCAA in shots being blocked this year.
