I’m not saying they both need to be on the block, but they don’t both need to be beyond the arc. And why do we need space? We don’t have anyone good enough to use it...except our two big guys who are 20-30” away from the rim.
Watch the next time someone pulls an Atlanta and see how they guard Davis. Spacing is vitally important. We won that game because our role players took advantage of the double and triple teams.
I think they are on the block more often than you believe. Teams are just starting to adjust defensively and making life difficult on Davis and Cousins down there, forcing our guards/wings to actually make shots.
Just watch Davis alone. See how often he's trying to get an entry pass within 10-15 feet of the rim or closer. It's just factually incorrect to assume they don't spend time down there.

Had the Sixers-Lakers on after the Pels game, looking at all those young long wing type players made me jealous.
the upcoming G league team is beyond necessary.
that being said, Jackson is that type of player(young,long and can defend 2-3 positions).

I still don’t know why we play both our big men outside the 3 point line with no inside presence when we have the best big man pair in the league playing point forward.
Davis is one of the best in the league in post up scoring so far this season fwiw, he's losing shots and not touching it enough

Anthony Davis has taken 15 or fewer shots in 4 straight games. He hasn't had a streak that long since 2013-14 (and he left early in 2 of those games).
Meanwhile Cousins is shooting nearly 8 3PA per

i mean it's like you didnt even read what i posted
quote:
did you know that both Davis (79%!!!) and Cousins are converting at the rim at career high rates?
did you know that Davis is taking more shots at the rim than from the mid range for the first time since his rookie year? that he is taking the highest % of shots at the rim since his 2nd year?

how do you think Davis is getting a greater share of his shots at the rim this year when his attempts been declining there for years? and how do you think he is converting at a rate nearly 10% higher than he ever has?

It’s gotten to where if we shoot a 2 I’m kinda upset. And if the other team makes a 2 I’m ok with it.
The 3 point shot will ultimately kill basketball.

When AD takes a long 2, yeah I don't like it more often than not. Same with Moore and Miller. But sometimes when it's wide open and its an easy shot you take it to start some rhythm.
You can't tell me you were happy when derozan took a shot from 2. He is proof that the mid range game can still be very effective.

This is from Jackson's scouting report..
"Defensively, Jackson shows solid intensity at times getting in a low stance and moving his feet, but also looked less than engaged both on and off the ball at times this season. Lacking a degree of lateral quickness to defend elite point guards and exceptional size or length to defend taller guards, Jackson could be a bit stuck behind the eight-ball defensively early on at the next level, but the former McDonald's All-American showed promise he was dialed in and has the competitiveness to make some strides on this end if he can play with more consistent intensity."
