Sometimes, a coach doesn’t need advanced statistics or analytics to make a decision.
The only numbers Dave Joerger needs to see change are 4-9, the Kings’ record, including four straight losses.
Joerger plans to scrap the big lineup that has opened games most of the season, with DeMarcus Cousins and Kosta Koufos in the frontcourt. Cousins will play center, and Joerger will try to figure out which lineup works best around Cousins for Sunday’s game against the Toronto Raptors.
“That hasn’t been working,” Joerger said of playing big. “That’s not working so it’s not about being big or small.”
InsideHoops.com Quick Take: Offensively, barely anybody in the league can guard Cousins. That’s really not an exaggeration. Defensively, including just general court awareness, Cousins needs improvement. As for the Kings in general, their offense is decent but their defense has been miserable so far this season.
