That's the only reason he's getting 18. He's on a garbage team. He's like a new Drew Gooden. He'll put up decent numbers until he's on a team where he's the 5th option.
Bwahahaha, so by your logic, I can say Pau Gasol was a scrub when he was with Memphis. Typical DW, doesn't actually watch games. Drew Gooden has never been an 18 and 11 guy nor has he ever had the same skill set Cousins has even at only 21.
So are you telling me Gasol didn't look better with the Grizzlies than he has for the lakers? ... thanks for proving my point. Cousins simply isn't anything great. He's ok. He's the only option on a bad team. He's the Bobcats version of Gerald Wallace for the Kings... who cares?
Lol what point? You made none. Gasol has looked the same bro, except he's winning because he's on a good team now. Gerald Wallace is a terrible comparison. He's a 3rd/4th option that doesn't score to contribute. Cousins is Gasol, very skilled big man who probably won't be able to carry a team to the promise land by himself, but a great second option. You simply have never watched Cousins play. He has all the talent to be great. On talent alone, he should have went first in his draft class. Comparing him to Z-Bo was a good comparison, except he's a more talented and bigger version.
Cousins bigger better Z-Bo? You're clearly smoking the marijuana. And Gasol looked WAY better with the Grizz, because he was the #1 option on a team with no one else intimidating him. He's like a completely different player in LA.
