Is Demarcus Cousins the 3rd best center in the NBA?

[Reggie]

I think so without a doubt. He averaged 18 and 11 (along with 1.5 steals which is phenomenal for a big man) last year. And he only has room to grow. The only thing holding him back is that attitude which will be corrected in the right situation. Btw what is the big deal with his attitude? Yeah he crys about calls a little bit but who doesn't. Other than the Westphal incident i don't recall hearing of any instances of him clashing with coaches or really being disruptive with his team. With the proper tutelage i think he coud average 25-15 and 3 blocks consistenly once he hits his prime. I've been enamored with his game since he was in high school for real. No way should he be anywhere but in the paint. He has an okay jumper for a big man but he has a whole arsenal of moves in the post that anyone in the L right now would kill for. It's all on him if wants to take the mantle from Dwight (maybe even as early as next year).

He definitely got the potential, dude had himself quite a season on the low


But right now I would take a couple other guys like Brook Lopez, Marc Gasol, Al Jefferson, Roy Hibbert


Cousins gotta work on staying focused and building character, the only person preventing his development is himself

He's probably the most talented center in the league, Im not sure he's 3rd best just yet. He needs to get his FG% up, a center shooting 45% is unacceptable, especially one as offensively talented as him.

 

[Reggie]

i agree with that fg% going up which it will. But Brook Roy Marc and maybe even Al have not had season as the one that Demarcus just had.

 

[Regular_P]

Lol @ the 3rd best center in the league shooting 45%

 

[NatiboyB]

no he's not and if they could add a C they would move him to PF.

1.Howard
2.Bynum


damn honestly he is looking like the 3rd best C he's putting up 20/10 almost.

I'd take cousins over all of them except gasol.

 

[PortCityProphet]

at the end of next season he will be.

 

[NatiboyB]

He will eventually be moved to C as soon as the Kings can aquire one the cat is a PF.

But does it matter in the league now the difference between a 4/5.

 

[SquirtleSwag]

I think his natural position is at PF as well. He has a lot of talent, I wish he had a better coach because thats all he needs. Isn't his rebounding rate like the highest in the league? (or maybe its 2nd highest)

 

[kash10003]

he is more of a PF, he has a lot of potential, good rebounder good passer

idk if he's top 3 though

 

[Black]

at the end of next season he will be.

that's how i feel

 

[NatiboyB]

I tried to do a top 5 list and

1.Howard
2.Bynum
Cousins
Gasol
Hibbard
Horford
Lopez
Mcgee
Peko
Chandler
KG
Monroe
Noah

he's arguabally better then the other guys

 

[Mandizi]

He's most def top 5-10. I was foolin saying that last year he was top 3. Dude has loads of potential to get even stronger. Just need to improve his FG%, defense, and dedication to improve.

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

He shoots 45%,that's horrible for a Center.
