So the plan is to surround AD and Cousins with horrible shooters.
Why do people keep saying this?
AD and Cousins ARE our shooters.. neither one is gonna be banging away under the basket just because they're 7' tall

No they aren't. They are capable of making outside shots. They aren't guys you want staying outside.

Are you familiar with floor spacing and how it works? You can't just point to someones 3p% stat and assume they space the floor. That would be like someone pointing to Jrue's assist stat and state that he is undoubtedly a true point guard.
Here are some numbers to chew on. Assuming you have Rondo starting at the point here would be your "average shot distance from the goal" from your starting five. Also the distance for everyone of them was a career high last year.
Rondo: 11.9'
Jrue: 13.3'
Hill: 16.4'
Davis: 10.6'
Cousins: 12.1'
Hill is our floor spacer, YAY championship here we come!

Yea we want our two 7' footers taking low percentage jump shots and 3P.
Davis can work them in as he has proven he can knock down midrange shots at a nice clip. Still way more effective around the goal
Cousins is a sub 40% shooter from 10 feet out, I mean frick. But nearly unguardable around the basket. If cousins doesn't reel back his outside shooting and work the post more a rondo signing doesn't make sense
You still want a guy knocking down outside shots on kick outs from AD and Boogie. That guy isn't rondo or Solomon frickin Hill. Our best shooter is a concerted PG. This is why Reggie Jackson makes more sense to me
