Mash brought the ball up a good bit even against presses and he had what it took to defend guards well. If you can get away with having Mash at the two playing perimeter offense, defending guards out on the floor, and driving a bit which he was great at, then he would absolutely abuse any SG you put him against at the basket both offensively and defensively. Hard to imagine a situation where the opposing team doesn’t lose more than you lose from the fact that Mash is not a natural SG. Some of this is obviously just names it’s hard to leave off the list, but I still like the way John is thinking here.
