The New Orleans Pelicans are saving themselves a lot of money and time these days because they’ve already got two of them, an embarrassment of big-man riches. In Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins, the Pelicans have two of the premier multi-faceted bigs in the game and they are finally figuring out how to mesh their impressive talents. Cousins and Davis, who had the Pelicans at 6-4 heading into Thursday night’s game against the Raptors at the Air Canada Centre, have combined for an average of 57.3 points and 26.4 rebounds per game. “Just watching them play, going over film, you see both guys can bring down the ball, handle the ball, shoot threes. We can get so much better.” How far Cousins and Davis can carry the Pelicans remains to be seen, and the early-season sample size is small.
