Bolded are the players either already declared all-stars or getting a push for a reserve slot for some reason.
 
Aint no questions. Hes just goota keep his head down and keep getting better. I dont think hes getting the credit he deserves nationally yet. Gortat for example whose having a similar year has been talked about all over as a great addition to the suns
 
Cousins is a beast! There is no debate about it! He has mostly eliminated the foul trouble from his game. He just needs to continue to work as hard as he has on his conditioning AND get a couple of go to post moves! When he is on he is unstoppable!

The "Big Three" are starting to gel together and that is a great thing for many years to come.
 
There's no question in my mind that Cousins will become a borderline superstar in this career. This kid got beast written all over him.

One of the few things I actually like about the current Kings squad.
 
HOLY crap it's 5 in the morning, WTF am I doing here? I thought it was like one hour after the Kings game. That's weird. Gotta go

I agree what he needs to continue to work on post moves. That's important, because he doesn't get a lot of lift around the basket.

Who's the "Big Three?" Is the third Thornton? I think the system that works best is having a big two and role/complimentary players around that. I think we're well on our way to having a big 2.
 
Cousins is flat out the 4th best center in basketball. What's incredible is how far ahead of the curve he is only in his second year. Bynum and Gasol only started to put it together this season (took Bynum 5 years, Gasol 3), and Cousins' stats look very similar to Dwight's second year numbers (Other than FG%). We're starting to see his effect when he stays on the floor for 33+ minutes a game and it's very exciting to watch unfold
 
actually, I thought it was clear over 10 games ago when it was discussed previously.

However, it took these garish numbers to show others Cousins is a beast?

Actually, I think even with those 20/20 numbers, he was playing better BEFORE (almost a month ago). He's actually been worse in his post play recently, and looks fairly hopeless at driving against his man after the 1st qtr.
Now that he's getting more minutes, he's getting more numbers, but I think he was playing better before. He was basically alone against the entire opposing team - now he's getting a lot more support with production from his teammates.
 
His Per-36s look ridiculous

He's current at a cool 19ppg/14rpg/1.7bpg at 45% shooting. In his second year! Everyone now sees how long it takes bigs to regularly develop because JT is blossoming before our eyes, but Cousins is on track to be among the most productive bigs of all time if he stays on this developmental curve. Just absolutely nasty production.
 
Because he doesn't have a lot of lift a hook could be the answer to getting blocked. But I am not concerned he will figure it out... :)
 
Cousins is definitely smart enough to figure out that he needs a little jump hook, and even skilled enough to learn one with both hands like JT has. The great thing about DMC is that it wont be hard for him to learn.

Most of us knew even before draft day he will be a beast. I actually cannot remember anyone not liking him before the draft. It is just amazing how fast this supposedly "headache player" learns things in the NBA despite having had a dumb coach during his rookie year. I hope he continues to develop and eventually becomes the franchise player that he wants himself to be. Awesome and amazing kid.
