I can't believe I almost picked the Bucks as my back up team to watch over these Kings.

The Kings closely guard the 6-foot-11 center’s weight and body fat percentage. Clearly, he’s not the player who labored during the Las Vegas Summer League before his rookie season. But his condition fluctuates wildly, and for large chunks of the past two seasons, he has been ill, slowed by nagging injuries and perhaps most noticeably gimpy and unable to gain any lift in the low post.
His numbers reflect the confounding nature of his talent. He is averaging 24.1 points and 10.3 rebounds but is shooting a career-low 41.8 percent.
This is why I've always been skeptical of Cousins. He's just not a winner, he doesn't have the right mentality between his ears. Nobody as talented and athletically gifted as he is should be shooting 41.8% from the field. It's ridiculous.

i think its because hes also started shooting 3's this season. he never has before. that'll generally drag anyones overall fg% down.

That's part of it for sure, but his TS% as a whole is down because of his overall inefficiency. His % on two-pointers is the lowest it's been since his rookie season.
Don't get me wrong. Dude is a baller. And he seems genuinely misunderstood a lot of the time. But he's also a powderkeg. I have zero faith in how he'd react if things started going wrong in a playoff situation.

i'd still take him on the raps! i think a winning environment is all the kid needs to get shit together. years of losing has got to make people go mad. remember when amir threw his mouthguard at a ref? and he was generally the happiest dude on the team!
