This guy is this generation’s Derrick Coleman. Could have been an all time great but was just not there in the head.
FWIW, last time he was healthy in 2019, he put up 16/8/4 on 56 TS% for the Warriors. Not too shabby. Also shot the 3 pretty well when he was with the Pelicans and is still only 30. Can't expect him to get back to his pre injury self but he has a chance to be a good player still.
I want to give Anthony Bennett a Chance. Hopefully the Rockets give him a Chance., after coming back from surgery.
In ‘19 Boogie signed for the vet minimum with GS. If he signs the minimum with Houston he’s well worth the risk. Given all of his time off to get in shape and heal from his past injury, he could turn out to be a good addition. Tell you what, he won’t get shoved around in the paint by Anthony Davis or a guy like Harrell. And he sure as hell won’t let guys drive in for lips without a good body check. That was sorely missing last year against the Lakers as they drove in repeatedly for lips of our smaller players. Nope, Cousins can man the paint. And quite honestly, I love his competitive attitude on the court.
what does he have left in the tank? Those injuries have got to take a toll. I mean would I say no to signing him for the vet min? Nope but I wouldn’t expect him to contribute anything more than what Jeff Green gave us last year...and even that could be hard for Boogie to contribute.
If he stay healthy he will be a contributor. His game has never been based on being extremely gifted athletically. I do worry about his lateral movement skills. That used to be a real strength of his. At GSW he struggled handling guards on switches before he got hurt. Could've been his achillies was killlng him before he finally blew it out. He's in the best shape of his life so I would sign him for the vet min. Small bet for a chance at a big return.
Mostly just want the guy to be ok, not setting himself up for more injuries... but yeah I'm okay with Cousins on a flyer.
Got Cousions for 4th and 5th position, it will be great. The remaining weakest is in sf, see if we can get Ariza again or not, we can beat Lakers using this team.
F Who Harden can get along with. He’s had his way for years. Time for him to submit to Silas and Rafael with whatever vision they have. Harden doesn’t have championship acumen but Silas has been on some squads that do as a coach.
