It is incredibly hard to imagine how this Sacramento Kings team would have done without DeMarcus Cousins this season. With the big ‘fella healthy, the Kings have a 25-26 win-loss record.
Without Cousins, that record heavily favors the opponents with a 1-7 record and allowing 127 points a game. This is the equivalent of an 18-point difference between the two.
While Cousins draws an enormous amount of attention for his on-the-court antics, you can’t ignore him in the box score. Cousins is having his best statistical season of his career, averaging in the top-five in the league for scoring and for rebounds.
