“That’s the reason of the small ball lineup, I think,” said Aminu.”It was in order to kind of counteract that on the offensive end, especially if you’re able to hold your ground in the post and different things like that, which I want to work on as well. It allows you to play fast. Your traditional bigs, usually not closing out to the three-point line and getting back and everything like that, so it’s difficult for them. You try to expose that.”

“I told (Stotts), I was like ‘I’m 6-9, you know what I mean?’” joked Aminu about the “small ball” label. “I played power forward pretty much all my life… I like the three as well, but the four works as well, too.”
