I always look forward to your analysis, I think you are usually on point about most things, but I just don't get the idea of playing AS/DC at the same time.  In some matchups, maybe I could see the benefit defensively (including rebounding) of them together, although you take some risk of both picking up fouls.  I just don't think it would work very well offensively, at least not unless and until AS is able to pass out once he's started to make his move, especially when double teamed.  Offensively, AS should have an advantage posting up against most 4's, but Clingan at the 5 would have to clear out of the paint to give him room to work and would not be in position to rebound a potential miss. And worse, what's to stop Clingan's defender from doubling on Adama since he's unlikely or unable to pass out to a free Clingan (or other player) moving to the basket?  If Adama figures this out, they could be a deadly combo, otherwise I just don't see how they complement each other offensively at this point.
