DeMarcus Cousins’ first five games with the Golden State Warriors have been as good as anyone could have reasonably expected. Sure, he’s had moments of rust. Sure, he fouled out in just 15 minutes in his debut. Sure, he still looks a little funky in the post.
But all that is to be expected after missing a year due to a torn Achilles.
What’s less expected is how quickly Cousins would begin to fill up the stat sheet in the same manner that booked him four trips to the All-Star Game.
