    Yes Evan Turner is going to a nice player. An Allstar. But Bigs like Cousins are hard to come by. He is a kid looking like a grown man. He can really play. The kid is going to be a star. The kings have struck gold two years in a row...

    So hes gonna play wit Mandry? Sounds dangerous.

    The Lakers bigs are what won them titles, not that rapist ballhog.

    Cousins post moves and passing ability are rare in big man with his size and strength...

    Watching his summer league. He is the best player on the court by a MILE. The best big have seen in a few years. He is not a a freak athlete, but his size and skill level are very rare

    I think people are just realizing how much of a complete package this guy is on the court, especially his passing ability.

    Fair enough...Haven't been paying too much to the summer league so I'm kinda obvious to whats going on.

    But I have to disagree.....Jeremy Lin should have been the #2 pick

    He attacks the rim, can dunk, 6'3, chinese american, very quick and athletic and huge market....

    :grin:

    Thats the only person I can think of. Shaq was more of a freak. Cousins seems to have more skill

    Surely you must be joking. Have you not read the Cousins threads leading up to the draft? The guy is Oliver Miller, I tell you! He's going to eat himself out of the league in 2 years!

    really, you base player evaluations from DD posts instead of watching games?

    Just DD? What are you talking about? Over half the votes had him being role player or worse. And the popular opinion is that overweight guys going into the workouts means sucktitude in the NBA.

    When has clutchfans majority ever been wrong!?

    Cousins has serious issues with his character and work ethic and basketball IQ. That's why he didn't go higher.

    This kid is going to be a multiple all star. He could be a 20-10 type player by the end of his rookie season at the age of 20 :eek:

    yea Cousins is very good, I honestly thought he wasnt going to be worth a pair of tube socks out there but hes definitely the real deal I see why Morey was soo high on trying to draft him, the Kings are lucky.. Turner will be good but I dont think that he will have the same impact of Cousins Sac has a very very good young core particularly frontcourt with Tyreke, Cousins, Mandry (these 2 will tear it up down low!) Caspi, Donte Greene, Whiteside, and thats not even mentioning Samuel Dalembert.. wow I am very intrigued and impressed with Sacs revamped roster, I actually mite have a rooting interest in these guys mainly cuz I wana see well for Carl ;)
