Boogie Cousins gets more hype than Greg Monroe; he got drafted two picks ahead of him; his upside seems like it should be higher; he's more fun to follow; he has a better nickname; and he's always going to seem a little more overpowering when he has it going. [...] Just know that Sacramento would flip Boogie for Monroe in a cocaine heartbeat ... and if the roles were reversed, Detroit would hang up.



Cousins could be better than Monroe but he's not. So the answer to your question is no.

Cousins > Monroe

Detroit was trying their hardest in the draft to jump ahead of us just to draft Cousins. They even tried trading for him after the draft too.

smh did yall watch him play this season? The dude had a terrible start cuhz of Paul Westphal and had a terrible 10 game start, but once Keith Smart took over, the dude started beasting, plus he always gets a bunch of offensive rebounds a game, so he misses em, but he always gets that board and puts it back in the game, so I ain't sure if yall watched him or just checked the boxscore. The dude is talented as fukk and imo is a top 3 center, and if his attitude and his work ethic gets to the level of his talent, the dude is gonna be a complete monster in the game, like on some Moses Malone type shyt.

He's the new Rasheed Wallace. Most talented big in the league but just a fukking clown.

I never saw a big more talented than Rasheed Wallace. Maybe Hakeem but that's it. Real talk. Dude shoulda been averaging 30 and 15 with 5 blocks a game.

Word finally a Demarcus Cousins thread its about time:ooh:

He had a sick season completely on the low because the kings were so shytty. This offseason he is shedding pounds working on his game and his knuckleheadness for sure. This year he will easily get 20/10 and will keep the Kings above.500, I firmly believe it.

As for the question about him being top 3 center nobody has talked about Dwights bounceback from his back injury,nobody knows bout that. Marc Gasol, Demarcus and Bynum def are top tier though as far as the next great NBA centers goes.

I stand by that homie. Til the day I die. Wallace was a 7 footer with 25 foot range. He could post, he could pass, he could defend... he could do it all. Just wasn't right upstairs.

Never saw Duncan or Garnett pull up from the top of the arc with ease. And his release was so high his shot was impossible to block.

Most talented big I ever saw but he wasted that talent.
