When the Houston Rockets first signed DeMarcus Cousins in the offseason, the move drew a slew of varying opinions and reactions. On one hand there was the camp that believed that Cousins could provide value as a reserve big, based on the unique skillset that he possesses, which made him a four-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA selection.
On the other there was the camp that believed that signing Cousins was simply too risky, as he’s battled a myriad of injuries that forced him to miss 208 games dating back to 2014.
