I'm saying play him. Set him up on the block, face to basket, the way Nebbie did with Morgan several times. He gets better scoring opportunities; the offense doesn't come to a complete stop while everyone watches him work on his moves.
When the game is out of reach, preferably when we have a big lead, force-feed him in the post.
So, I'm saying play him. Pass the ball to him when we draw his defender away. Just, when the game is in the balance, don't bring the offense to a grinding halt by running the ball through him on the block on most possessions.
