You know, I’m not 100% sure, but if I had to make an educated guess, I’d say no. I believe KenPom compares opponent-adjusted net rating relative to pace to get score predictions. Plus Cummings wasn’t announced as out until a half hour before tip off, so can’t imagine he was accounted for.

Admittedly, I can't quit Corhen. Still feel like he can be a useful player on a winning team but he doesn't help me make my case very often.

That was my biggest concern when Jackson was ruled out. You can Moneyball the rebounding to a certain extent by ensuring enough guys crash the glass. But rim protection is a different story.
