Stephen A. Smith claims DeMarcus Cousins is currently a top-5 NBA big man

There aren’t too many dominant big men in the NBA right now.

Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid are the two that immediately come to mind, and one could even toss in players like Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo (if you consider the Greek Freak a true big man).

Nonetheless, the options are slim, and former Kentucky Wildcats star DeMarcus Cousins was at one time among the best big men in the NBA. Cousins started his career with the Sacramento Kings, where he averaged 27.8 points per game in his final season before being traded to the New Orleans Pelicans.
