The Kings might not be playoff bound, but they’ve definitely had a change in culture as point guard Isaiah Thomas recently told us. Part of their success comes from the continually improving DeMarcus Cousins. Last night against a Bucks team treading water in the basement of the East, Cousins unleashed his full arsenal from the center spot.
Cousins was on fire with Milwaukee in town, connecting on 14-of-19 shots from the field including an array of low-post finishes, mid-range jumpers and pull-ups that ripped the nylon. Perhaps his most awesome moment came on this coast-to-coast rumble down the court for the flush. The 6-11 center certainly showed off the potential that has some saying he’s the most naturally gifted big man in the game today.
Now Boogie, Zeke and the rest of the team needs to band together and get started on a winning 2014-15 campaign by finishing this season strong. Last night’s 124-107 win is a great place to start.
Where does Cousins rank among centers in the NBA today?
