The problem is, we can't keep him in the game because he is in constant foul trouble. I think he got four fouls last night in seven minutes.
 
Any thoughts on Allen taking Hendersons spot at some point? Obviously last night was brutal for him but can’t say I love his game currently in the starting 5
Not a big fan of doing that. Henderson gives you size and length on the wing and would create a bit of redundancy with the second unit if you moved him there.
 
Not so sure about that. You can size down a bit and run Malovec and Allen at the 4 with one of Reneau and Udeh at the 5.

This is how I see the rotation shaking out once we get to conference play:

Donaldson
Washington
Henderson
Reneau
Udeh

D. Allen
M. Allen
Malovec
Spot minutes for Dovrat and Altuntas
I can see Allen at the 4 but less so Malovec although I feel like Malovec will be playing more than Allen as the year goes on. Malovec looks uncomfortable guarding up defensively; he is our best shooter and we will need him as a floor spacer which is why I suspect he will get a lot of clock.

if the other team uses their 4 on the perimeter a lot; then that’ll negate needing two bigs on the floor. Marcus and Henderson can stick Caleb Wilson but I wouldn’t bother putting Malovec on him.
 
Go easy on the kid. True frosh thrown into big time hoops and Jai just needed bodies. He may be servicable in time, but he's a glaring example of the downside of building a roster from scratch.
