I would put Cousins and Koufos in at the same time depending on the matchup. We have been really good on the boards when those two are in.
Kings Total Rebounds Per 100 Possessions with Cousins & Koufos on the floor =

Better rebounding doesn't necessarily equate to a winning lineup. We really should be avoiding two C lineups at all costs. If it weren't for Cauley-Stein being a future piece we need to develop, I'd probably be cutting him out of the rotation and giving his 18 minutes to Casspi as another stretch 4. Even last year we lost when we had Koufos or Cauley-Stein playing along side next to Cousins (-2.8 w/ Cousins & Koufos and -2.5 w/ Cousins & Cauley-Stein). This year, it's no different.
We were actually a winning team last year when Cousins had
ANY PF or SF playing at the 4 next to him. Acy, Moreland, Gay, Casspi....it didn't matter which one. We beat the other team on the floor when there was a
better fitting piece next to Cousins (notice how I didn't say more talented).
Quit with the double C lineups and play what actually keeps us competitive. It's pretty darn simple. Make it happen, Joerger.
EDIT: Coming back to my starting Tolliver point, we were
+0.9 points per 100 possessions last year with a Cousins/Acy pairing with a 466 min sample size. Tolliver is a hard worker (like Acy), a more established 3pt threat, is longer than Acy, & is a better defender than Acy. He doesn't have to play a lot of minutes, but at least give Cousins a good complement to start the game and someone mobile enough, long enough, & big enough to guard PFs adequately (while also being able to give him space on offense).
