Recently, on the basketball commentary show "Above The Rim", former NBA All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins made a blunt criticism of the Los Angeles Lakers' lineup configuration strategy. Cousins pointed out the Lakers' inappropriate use of stars with his usual frank attitude.
Cousins emphasized that any successful team needs to build a lineup around core stars, and the Lakers clearly have such cornerstones - LeBron James and Anthony Davis (AD). He particularly pointed out that AD's best seasons in his career were all when he played as a power forward (No. 4), including the season when he helped the Lakers win the championship. AD himself has also expressed many times that he prefers to play at the No. 4 position, believing that this position can better play his technical characteristics and advantages.
However, Cousins was puzzled and disappointed that the Lakers management ignored this clear signal and insisted on letting AD play center. He criticized bluntly: "When the core players of the team have clearly expressed their position and role preferences, the management chose to go against it. This is really incredible. This decision not only goes against the wishes of the players, but also ignores the rationality of the lineup configuration. Pelinka should resign! They wasted James' peak in vain!"
