When the Golden State Warriors set the NBA world on fire by signing All-Star DeMarcus Cousins, analysis immediately shifted to whether or not the Warriors and Cousins would be an ideal fit.
Would his addition create the greatest starting five in the history of the sport? Or could that potential be spoiled by his noted history in the locker room?
The former is easily answered: Cousins fills a need that the Warriors have long been searching for (an all-around athletic big that can dominate the paint by himself.)
It’s the latter that will remain to be seen, but this is the exact reason why Boogie is in great hands in the Bay.
