conversely, you give them the same mismatch issue in reverse...
...when you force a slow footed bruiser like Hunter Dickinson to have to defend more explosive and agile athletes on the perimeter it creates matchup issues for them and can force them to have to adjust.

Remember when we beat Gonzaga in Provo in 2019-20? In the 2nd half we took control of the game by exploiting WCC POY Filip Petrusev's inability to defend smaller quicker Zac Seljaas on the perimeter. Zac had a great game finishing with 12 pts and got to the FT line a bunch by attacking the rim from the perimeter when bigger slower guys like Petrusev were on him or by taking advantage of their clunkiness defending in space and slipping backdoor for wide open layups.

Few realized that he couldn't keep Petrusev on the floor.
