To me the problem is Cousins needs to unlearn the creator role he was forced into with the Rondo injury. As corndeaux said teams are adjusting to him and that's exposing his mediocre (for a perimeter penetrator) handle. He needs to become part of the cutting and passing more like A
AD is running to the rim. Holiday and Moore are cutting either towards the rim or open spots on the perimeter. Cousins seems to just want to do Cousins. To be fair, I’m not sure where a Cousins/Rondo pairing butters its bread. Cousins doesn’t have the raw athleticism of AD. That 3 ball seems to be there anytime. He is crashing the offensive glass more it seems. Has Cousins had to play off a ball dominant guard before? Obviously Rondo was there a couple years ago, but that doesn’t mean Cousins didn’t rely on his 1v1 game or pick n pop from mid range.

I think the math of Moreyball is one of the reasons it looks so bad. Cousins could turn some of those missed 3s into made midrange shots and it’d look better but it’d also be less efficient despite more made FGs.

that is the central problem of the modern big man combo. Davis certainly can't dominate at the rim like he has been if Cousins is on the block, especially given this roster.
for example, Davis/Cousins combo had a Net Rating of +8.3 over the first month and a -8.5 over the last 5 games. small sample, but that swing seems to be more than Dante Cunningham leaving the starting lineup.
like bonhoeffer and ATL discussed, i dont know what adjustments the Pels can realistically make given the personnel. Kumar had a solid read on some of this
