Cousins has had a better season than Dwight Howard, James Harden, and Tony Parker so far. I think DeAndre maybe is on the cutting room floor though, but so close. Maybe DeAndre over Tony Parker.
Well, Dwight definitely used to be a beast on defense but, the last few years, not so much. I mean, even last year, he averaged 2.4 blocks per game, but he's now down to 1.8 blocks per game this year. Maybe its due to his back injury 2.5 years ago...I don't know. DeMarcus isn't great on defense, but I think overall, he's had a better first half of the year. All these guys are real close, but I just think DeMarcus edges him statistically. Dwight gets the vote because he's been an all-star before and fans and coaches just vote on name recognition.
Jared Dudley blew by Harden when the Rockets played the Clippers. I don't know if it gets any worse than that.
I also think Chandler Parsons is better than Harden and Tony Parker. He has been the glue that has carried the Rockets so far this year.
