Demarcus Cousins Answers Fans Questions

Thanks for posting that. Its nice to see the other side of Cousins. I saw that in a lot of his Kentucky interviews. I think the fans are going to like him.
 
Yes he seems to be charismatic- a real presence. Whether or not he's comfy in Sac yet he's comfy in his own skin which is great.
 
Thanks for posting this.. Its good to see, i think hes taking a real liking to the kings and sacramento. Notice how he said "we had a losing season last year", hes already speaking like a king baby. i thought it was kind of funny how he responded to that question about sociology though. i think he had it mixed it with psychology lol. anyways i hope to see more of him in the future... its been great so far having him on our team.
 
All those questions and not ONE fan asked him if he could be any Star Trek character, who would he be?? :mad:
 
ok first how tall is Andrew Nicholson, dude needs a contract. I watched the 4 point play commercial with JT and Donte and it appears as though Donte is a at least a 1/2 inch taller than JT.

If I remember correctly JT is 6' 10" and Donte is 6' 11". Donte is just built more like a 3, and has the athleticism for it.

I'm pretty sure JT has been listed at 6'11" since he came into the league, while the listing for donte have grown and grown. And from what I have seen I actually believe them. He was 6'9", then 6'11", and if you told me that this season he was 6'11.5" or even 7'0" I wouldn't call you a liar. You have to remember how young he is sometimes, adn while its not particualrly normal to stil be growing in your early 20s, NBA guys are all pituitary freaks anyways. Jason himself grew I think 3 inches during his college years, and given that Donte is basically the same age as a guy entering his senior year of college right now, him having a similar late growth spurt would nto be unprecedented. And it just ups his monster potential that much further. You are beginning to talk about a KG or Dirk sized freak athlete at some point.

Just about every report I read on Thompson said he was 6'4" his freshman year of college and grew to 6'11" by his senior year. Highly unusual for someone to grow that much after age 18, but it does happen from time to time. So Its not out of the question that Donte has grown two or three inches since joining the Kings. I still think he has the potential to be something special. its all up to him.

Don't forget that Scotty Pippin was 6'1 when he entered college and grew to 6'9. I believe Devan George was also around 6'1 entering college and grew to 6'7. I seem to remember a couple others doing the same thing.

I think he is misunderstood and a lot of his attitude problems has been blown out of proportions. He is a lot like Shaq to me.

Very true. UK fans have been defending their Cuz for over a year now and now it will be your turn. I feel the fear Cuz puts into those playing against him makes them cry that he has a bad attitude. I guess they feel that sounds better than, "He scares me."

So, so well said. There's something special going on here in Sac. Big Cuz is seeming like the absolute perfect addition to this team personality and skill wise. He's big, outgoing, and playful, and it will allow Reke to more of the quiet, supremely confident, devastating assassin that he seems to be. Reke seems to prefer to let his play do the talking. Big Cuz seems to not mind him AND his play doing the talking! He does have a great attitude though.

I love how he will occasionally say out loud that he wants to be the best big man of all time. Love that attitude.

Everything I see this from this kid suggests a playful and positive energy, not a malcontent or psycho. When he gets compared to guys like Derrick Coleman, I don't remember Syracuse fans, coaches and teammates rushing out to defend him against the labels, insisting that he was loved by all. Did little girls cry when Coleman left college? ;)

Love the little girls comment! Not many outside of UK have seen those articles.

This is very true. He has no bad attitude or psycho mentality. He showed some immaturity, but he grew years in just one single season last year. By the way, the times he DID show a lack of maturity were some of our most fond memories. Those times all stemmed from a passion to win. I can live with that.
