Demarcus Cousins
Strengths
-polished post game, has a good feel for where his defender is and how to use his strength against his defender
-good rebounder, gets good positioning
-good understanding of the game
-has an attitude and plays with a chip on his shoulder like hes got something to prove
-low post presence offensively and defensively
Weaknesses
-gets in foul trouble too often
-needs to understand how to defend bigger guys who are more athletic and quicker
-has to add muscle and lose his fat to become more agile and quick
-though has a better post game could develop some more moves
-needs to understand his role as a big man, in HS he shoot threes/perimeter shots a lot, and still needs to understand that is not his game, also tried to go coast to coast a cppl times at Kentucky, he needs to realize that is not his job
-not an explosive athlete and is slower due to added weight
-needs to listen to his coaches and not talk back, he is not going to be tolerated if he curses them off like he did at Kentucky
-needs to know how good he is and understand the responsibility that comes with being the go to guy on a team

All in all he is a tremendous talent with a lot of upside

Strengths:
-Best pull up jumper in the draft
-can create space to get his shot off with jab steps and step backs
-excellent offensive awareness and feel for the game, good decision maker
-natural scorer, unafraid to shoot the ball, and the small forward prospect in this draft who was the most important to his team: he was his team’s star player
-unafraid to initiate contact taking the ball to the lane
-deep range on his jumper
-can score from almost anywhere on the court: hits threes, has a great mid range game, can take it to the hoop, and is crafty in the post, he could score in the high post against NBA small forwards
-great scorer in isolation situations, probably the best in this draft class, has potential to be a go-to offensive option at one point in his career
-gives good effort towards rebounding, excellent rebounder for a small forward
-Great size for a sf, 6’9″ with a 6’11” wingspan

Weaknesses:
-spot up jumper, while excellent, is not at the level his pull up jumper is
-poor lateral quickness hinders defensive ability
-not a great athlete, does not make some of the hustle/athleticism plays in transition other prospects do, although he is fairly athletic, he can jump, but lacks explosiveness, speed, and quickness
-not very strong, can’t play the 4 in NBA due inability to avoid being backed down in the post, and can be overpowered on the boards by post players
-inconsistent defensive effort
-mediocre first step
-solid, but unspectacular ball handling
-can put head down when driving the lane and not react to help defense

Overall a very skilled player who has a high ceiling. His ability to create in the mid range, ability to score in isos, and his aggressiveness scoring sometimes remind me of Paul Pierce.
