All-Star Game Starters Announced

His owner fired the only coach to ever get through to him with the team at 11-13 and ordered the team to change both its offense and defense to move away from maximizing Cousins skills and minimize his weaknesses. Malone had also successfully found him a place in a defensive scheme, now he's back to a role he doesn't want to play. Despite that, he's still actually giving an effort on that end. Probably the only one.

So what is this 'maximizing Cousins skills and minimize his weaknesses' thing that you're talking about? The kid can score but merely average for a big as his efficiency is comparable that of guards not bigs. He's an average rebounder at his position and is nothing dominant player on board. He can make assists but turns over a lot. His defense is questionable, often caught doing nothing with hands down and not being able to do Hassan GOATside on help D. He's 1 or 2 years away from being thrown into same bin of Josh Smith overrated.

He's an average rebounder at his position and is nothing dominant player on board.

While he grabs a lot of board, not enough is on offensive end. What puts him above average for a center is with defensive rebounding but you know your team would have gotten it half the time so it's naive to say he's dominant on board.

He gets more offensive rebounds than Dwight, Bogut, Gasol or Joel Anthony. And gets 9% less than Chandler and Noah.

Over the last five years only Asik, Howard and Jordan have outrebounded him, but it's naive to say he's a dominant rebounder and informed to say he's average at his position.

Dwight's been dead for a couple seasons now. Pau's been dead too till sudden resurrection as a Bull. They're both known for softness anyway, ask Kobe, kinda like bounty toilet papers.

Cousins's rebounding number is inflated because the team gave him entire paint area to work with on both ends to his liking. He gets a special treatment because he's considered The franchise Future. When was the last time he was paired up with a real big instead of SF. Even legendary Reggie Evans becomes a shitty rebounder alongside big cuz.

Andre Drum in 12/13 was a better rebounder, so was Timmy Duncan, JJ Hicksun, Okafur. Bogut was better last year. Again Jordan and Drum also were. List too long to post for 5 year span.

Marc, not Pau.

Cherry picking single seasons, cmon son.

Just admit you didn't check before making a statement you took from somewhere else.
