That said, Smart’s success is built on the strength of Cousins’ skill and basketball instincts. He’s not a miracle worker, but merely a coach finally giving Cousins the essentials that he has long needed. With that crucial foundation finally in place, Cousins has put up averages of 19 points (on 46 percent shooting) and 14.2 rebounds per 36 minutes this season.
