I think that despite improving the roster, we haven't surrounded him with the right type of players. With a big like Boogie, we need as many shooters/athletic bigs as we can get. Also, we need a coach who can play to his strengths and post him up more, obviously.
I'm still a believer that despite the way the game is now being played, we can win a title or at least become a contender with Cuz as our main guy. But I also believe that for that to happen, we also need a star guard to help light en the load. Someone who can also take over games when Boogie is frustrated, and preferably a guard that can DEFEND.
A few things I would do to rebuild around Boogie:
-- keep WCS! Perfect running mate in the frontcourt.
-- keep McLemore and actually give him minutes to develop next season. I think Karl has stunted his growth by playing Belinelli (who averages more pump fakes than 3 pointers made per game) way more than he should be.
-- trade Belinelli and Koufos for what we can get (Koufos just doesn't fit well with DeMarcus and he's become the 4th best big on the team; Beli has had a few good games all year)
-- prefer to keep Rudy but if also be open to trading him for 3&D roleplayers/picks
-- keep Collison/let Rondo walk (Rondo is already 29 and I don't wanna spend a lot of money on someone who forgot how to play defense and whose poor shooting helps defenses sag in to help on DMC)
-- try to develop Seth as backup PG
-- draft Buddy Hield, if lucky enough (I believe he could become the star guard we need next to Cousins). If he's not available, look for other SG's like LeVert, Korkmaz, etc.

With that being said, do you believe we should restart the rebuild around Boogie? If yes, how would you do it?
