To be honest, I think that Haith should consider moving Brown to the bench, as he's been a replacement-level player over the last month. He kills us on both sides of the ball with awful shot selection and half-assed effort. Ross is a passive offensive player, which is moronic given his build, but passiveness is better than foolishness.

I think they've found a pretty good rotation at this point and would be hesitant to adjust it. Ross especially has embraced that role.
Brown's play has slipped of late, but I don't mind seeing them stick to the current roles and sliding Brown to the bench the first time it's necessary. Haith has been quicker to pull him the past few games, it seems like. Teams also respect his outside shooting, even if he hasn't been shooting a great percentage.
Ross has shown some nice flashes taking it to the rim of late. He still is a good bet to pick up at least one charge a game, but I like what we've seen recently of him getting to the rim and finishing through contact.
