Cousins, the younger brother of Kings All-Star DeMarcus Cousins, was part of a six-player predraft workout at the facility he knows well. It was Jaleel’s second workout with an NBA team, and he got reacquainted with many people.
Jaleel,a 6-foot-11 center who recently finished his senior season at South Florida, also worked out for the Dallas Mavericks. The NBA draft will be held on Thursday.
He’s now working out in Las Vegas and could play on the Kings’ summer league team.
Kings coach Dave Joerger offered encouragement after the workout, Jaleel said.
“He said, ‘You’re going to get tired of seeing me,’ so I guess that’s a good thing.”

Sounds like he is pretty raw and didn't take up basketball until later in school. Strictly a post player at this point. But maybe a SL invite, if for nothing else the family connection?
