Thompson needs to go in when Dalemberts out

[DeMoN]

I hate see Cousins and Landry out there at the same time. Cousins can get rebounds but getting position for him is tough considering he is a young rookie. Putting Thompson out there will help with that, but also with defense, which i think JT is better at than Landry. Instead of having two second options out there, we have 1 (Cousins) with a roleplayer in Thompson who will pass and hasn't been trying to force his own shot that much lately (could be due to not getting pt).

I agree Cousins and Thompson should come in together. Cousins will often draw the double team and JT can free lance.

For all the reasons stated by the OP.

JT is boneheaded at times, but he's a hellofah garbage man. He can play defense and rebound far better than Landry. And while Landry is the better offensive player, I think he's a net negative on the floor seeing as how he does nothing if it doesnt involve his stats.

I feel like this is a silly statement to make: but I honestly think that if we had given JT a lot more minutes at the 4/5, we could have won this one against the Hornets. The Landry/Cuz duo was just THAT bad tonight.
