About a six minute segment. Watch and I think you can get a pretty good read into this young man's personality.

I can't remember hearing so much negative about a player who has not been arrested or in any legal trouble before. I say you take him and trust your veteran coach to make a difference. My only concern is that there is no superstar veterans to keep him in check. But I believe Garcia, Thompson and Landry all young veterans with high character can relate and hopefully make a difference.

If he is available then I say we take him.

honestly I love his attitude, and im glad john thompson sr. stepped up and put some of the media in their place. nowadays its cliche that every athlete is trying to be this vanilla pre packaged fake athlete persona and we've had the worst when it comes to soft spoiled brat players in spencer hawes who was a butterfly. like John thompson said too many butterflys and not enough bulls! hit the nail on the head for me. I love that cousins is tough and has some meanness. its stupid that so many people criticize spencer for being a weakling and then turn around and say cousins needs to be more soft. If he needs a mentor in sac id be down to teach the kid a thing or two, he is exactly what the kings need in the middle and we've all been begging for since the shaq days a big physical bruiser in the middle.

lets hope geoff sees this picture clearly and takes cousins and passes on the mediocre monroe who is a total pansy and cousins would beat him up in a second if he had to and thats the way id like it!

I just don't think he'll be there at the #5 the closer we get to draft night.

too much hype surrounding him and one of the top 4 are just going to say what the hell and plump for him.

i definitely dont think johnson is the pick at 4, were going to see some surprises.

the only non suprise pick will be ours... Greg Monroe!

Its nice to see a more positive video of Cousins. I've listened to a lot of interviews all year long, and as far as I'm concerned, he's our guy. I just hope and pray that he's there at five.

Amen to that, Bajaden!
