As he heads into his fifth NBA season, former Kentucky Wildcat DeMarcus Cousins is at a career crossroads. For whatever reason, Cousins has been labeled as a malcontent, a hot head and as a player that’s only about his statistics. Let’s not overlook his stats. For his career, Cousins is averaging 18.9 points and 10.6 rebounds a game. DeMarcus averaged 24.1 points and 12.7 rebounds during the 2014-15 season, his second consecutive season with at least 20 and 10. Cousins’ numbers are just too impressive to overlook, yet with his Sacramento Kings not sniffing the playoffs since his arrival in 2010, some NBA experts are trying to do just that.
