Man I disagree. Spencer isn't strong or big enough for McCullar. McCullar is almost 6'6 barefoot (measured 6'5.5 at g league camp) with 6'9" wingspan. Spencer is at least 3 inches shorter without the wingspan or hops to make up for it. Positioning can only do so much when you are at that big of a physical disadvantage. He's just going to finish right through and over him on drives (or pass over him when the help comes).

Let Solo try to prove himself defensively here. Use that wingspan to contest. Where Solo has gotten beat in the past is by being over aggressive up in the guys shorts, knowing he has shot blocking behind him. So play off him a little bit, McCullar isn't a burner, maybe even goad him into some jump shots. He started the year shooting well, but has come back down to his low 30s averages.

If we do go double big, I think Karaban could actually hold up on him a bit. It's the bigger dudes that have given him problems in the past. He can move his feet with quicker guys okay.
