He isn't scoring well, but his contributions on defense and ball movement shows signs of him understanding there's more to basketball than scoring especially when you are struggling in scoring. You must contribute in other ways.
His core strength isn't there, that's why he's losing his balance on those kind of shots. If he dedicates himself to transform his body, like Nene did, he won't be putting up ugly crap like that anymore.
The difference from what I've seen tonight in Defense is a lot of man defense vs. the usual zone where people fail to rotate... Was this true in most the first half?
I think its more lack stamina and still developing post moves/hook shot.
Cousins should be mad at himself. I mean come on he had Shawne Williams on him a couple of times and Wilson Chandler once and he throws up garbage like that? I mean calm down, pump fake once and get your guy in the air then go up strong.
agree.. i really dont care if other people say he's regressed him contributing as a team player rather than a scorer shows his 2nd year maturity
So where is Evans?
But the fact is that he rarely goes up strong. Landry is tiny compared to Cousins but always goes up strong. Cousins tends to just throw it up without protecting the ball, without jumping
