This is the same organization that drafted nik stauskas who currently comes off the bench and just recently showed some type of worth to the organization all thanks to a slip up on TV, drafted jimmer over klay thompson, drafted T-rob then traded. They fired Malone, who isn't a Brad Stevens, but got the team in a decent direction, and most importantly controlled Cousins. Its a shytty organization, not cousins fault
I've watched Demarcus a lot, there are nights where he is simply unguardable, but of course since there isn't much help around, you'd constantly see 2-3 guys come over and jump all over him, mostly resulting in a non foul, a miss/turnover with Cousins slowing walking to the other end of the court as he complains to the refs. Boogie doesn't get calls
i know ppl thinking it's a kevin love situation, shytty team = numbers, but it's opposite. I truly believe once the kings can finally get it together, the team will be great and demarcus will still get his numbers. He's way more dominant than love
He's a big man, they are supposed to impact the game, we can talk about the organization all day, but that doesn't explain his inability to defend. If he were half as good of a defensive player as he is an offensive player they'd be at least a .500 team, we're talking about a supposedly "beast" of a center that always has his team 20 games under .500. Impact is easy to see, look at how Davis impacts the game, and his team isn't very good when you really look at it.
How is he any different from Vuccimane at this point? If Vucci had a usage rate as high as Cousins he'd probably post the same numbers and you'd get the same results which is no defense and Ls. This is the same shyt Love did, big numbers, tons of losses and no defense.
You ask what great big needs a frontcourt partner to reach their potential? I dont know about reach thier potential but plenty of bigs benefit from having a really good complimentary frontcourt piece around him.
Yao was already beasting but he didnt get out the first round until luis scola got to houston. Dream had otis thorpe
Even this season weve seen anthony davis make great progress with the Pels putting asik in the starting backcourt next to him.
Youve been spoiled by duncan
The Rockets improved by 15 games in Yao's rookie season, and Davis is going to be great defensively regardless of who is next to him, getting Asik is just to sure Brow doesn't take a beating from guys who are much bigger than him (260-290lbers) since he has no business playing C.
I haven't been spoiled by Duncan, truly great bigs impact games, guys like Cousins fall into the Al Jefferson camp.
Put Boogie on the Cavs in place of Love and they are winning the title guaranteed. The boy is the best center in the league and if you put capable players around him I think he could lead a team to some type of postseason success. Him with a pure point like Wall or Paul would be a sight to see cause he's never had a pure point who knows how to get a big man the ball in his best scoring spots.
Boogie as the 3rd option, yeah that would really go over well

nevermind the spacing issues since it seems like LeBron cannot play with a center that needs the ball.
Great centers helped their teams win games, even when the talent around them wasn't that good.
