OAKLAND — DeMarcus Cousins already has a favorite Warriors player. He likes the quiet one.
“By far, it’s Klay,” he said, cracking up at the mere mention of his name. “For him to be as dull is he is, there’s never a dull moment.”
It bodes well for the Warriors that Cousins arrived at his introductory press conference Thursday touting the virtues of being boring. Because for much of his basketball life, Cousins has been way too interesting. If Klay Thompson is the human snooze button, Cousins is the blaring alarm.
The 6-foot-11, 270-pound center has been cast as divisive, hot-tempered, brooding, immature and combative.
