Watched him playing for the first time this weekend. Physically and athletically he reminds me of Eric Dampier - very good combination of bulk+mobility but not exactly elite athleticism, some lack of explosion plus has that high work rate and appetite for playing in the paint. More skilled than Dampier, obviously. Should be a very good player.
He's supposed to be a fucking head case. REAL uncoachable. Bad body language. Ignoring coaches in TOs. Hair trigger temper on the court. Some lucky team is going to get the next Eddy Curry or Jerome James for their trouble.
In...hired an agent. Top 5 pick.
I'm starting to get the feeling these Kentucly players might all turn out to be overrated for one reason or another...
:lol a look back.
Not a lot of comments. Exstatic had the goods on the prediction.
He ended up going 5th.
1. John Wall
2. Evan Turner
3. Derrick Favors
4. Wesley Johnson
I would take him in a millisecond if Kings would go Gasol for Cousins.
Shit add green in if we need too and Anderson.Quote:

Everyone is happy
Probably cos he was a sure top five pick, and the Spurs weren't going to be able to trade up that far (like every year).Quote:

Boogie might do what S Jackson did with Golden State, sign, solidify his money, then force his way out.Quote:

Possibly but if he signs the super extension with Sacramento he'll be trade ineligible for a year.Quote:

I would take Cousins in a second!
Most likely for Cousins to come, Pop would have to have him at least one International Tournament in the USA team.
If both like each other then there is a chance.
I would like to think that this team is mentally strong enough to not be thrown out of orbit because of someone with an ego issue.
I love the thought process:
"Here's a guy with so much size, talent, and athleticism that no team would think about letting him get away. Except that he's such a fucking head case that even lowly Sacramento might just look for a way to pawn him off on some other team. I think we should go for it."
Hey - maybe we could get Cousins, Greg Oden, and Brandon Roy next year. We'd be staaacked!
RC has respect for Pop, but a Cousins/Leonard duo could be the future of the Spurs franchise, Pop may retire in 2 years. I would not let Pop dictate if a Cousins trade should happen or not, Spurs have Aldridge/Green they could part with for him. Build around a Cousins/Leonard duo for the future. With Duncan retiring, the big 3 era is definitely coming to a close (Manu to retire at the end of the season). The Spurs need to think longterm now, Pop is not going to want to coach till the end of time. A Cousins/Leonard duo both players 25 and 26. So if the Kings have interest in Aldridge, If I was RC I would strongly consider a trade for Cousins.
