Here We Rise?
Maybe. A victory over the T-Wolves on the road without Tyreke is a good start. The team produced down the stretch and Carl Landry proved himself a worthy clutch performer. DeMarcus Cousins gave us a glimpse of his star-power potential.
Frantastic
Francisco Garcia was a bright spot, providing much-needed offensive pop from the outside. He's the team's emotional leader.
Donte hasn't earned his minutes
Small forward Donte Greene still looks lost and overmatched too much of the time. He should be getting 10 minutes max a game until he shows he can compete consistently.
DeMarcus needs to work on footwork
A nice debut for Cousins, but you can tell he gets impatient when he gets the ball in the low block. He's not really sure what he wants to do. And he doesn't seem to have a go-to move. He needs to work on a quick jump hook and step-back jumper and then let the rest come later. Oh, and if someone can get a waiver to give Cousins an extra six personal fouls a game, that would be much appreciated.
Stop fawning, Grant
Kings announcer Grant Napear needs to stop drooling over Cousins. The kid had a nice game, but it wasn't earth shaking. And he was playing against Darko Milicic. I repeat, he was playing against Darko.
The Kings were reportedly eyeing Wesley Johnson as a possible pick if Cousins wasn't available. He looked very skilled Wednesday night. In fact, he would have looked very nice as a small forward for the Kings this year, especially in comparison to the recent play of Omri Casspi and Donte Greene.
