If he enters the 2010 draft do you think he is a lottery pick?  He never seems to play more than 20 minutes most games but still manages to put up impressive stats. I didn’t watch the game tonight vs. Drexel but I looked at the box score.

Cousins played only 14 minutes but managed to score 18 points, 13 rebounds, 2 steals.  That is insane for that little playing time. He is shooting over 50% from the field this season.

He started the year being a very poor free throw shooter but the last 3 games he is 17-18 from the free throw line. So you can see he is working on his game. 

Overall you have to like his potential.  He certainly has the size/physical tools to be a force in the nba. If he keeps working hard he could be a beast.

Top 20-25, I think. He is like Renardo Sidney in a sense. They have tons of potential, yet they are mentally weak. If they could put it toghter I think both are top 10 pick talent.

I think he’ll slip right outside the lottery, somewhere between 15 and 21

but damn..18 & 13 in 14 minutes is beyond insane, a good showing in March can boost him into the lottery though

He scored like their first 8 Points, but that’s what happens when you play with other Great Players such as John Wall and Patrick Patterson.

He’s going to be a good player…He’s got a low basketball IQ which is why he stays in Coach Calipari’s, but I see Maureese Speights in him. Which is a good sign, mind you, as Speights is an up-and-coming star in the making…

i think he will fall to the late 1st round but will be very good in the nba. he is just one of those guys that are better in the nba then college. he plays hard on both ends and has all the tools to be successful on any level

you cant teach size, hes 6’11” 260 and athletic…getting a big center who can play defense is very underrated…all good NBA teams should have a solid inside presence

look at kendrick perkins, hes a big body who plays tough D, hes a huge part of the reason why boston is so successful, same with dwight howard (and ofcourse his offensive abilities) and andrew bynum

[canesboy6Participant]

Im not sold on him. For all the numbers I hear with him, when I watch them, he is either complaining or on the bench.

i think in other way than mikenike..maybe i’m crazy on Renardo and DeMarcus but i would say i this way- they are lottery picks and “if they can out it together” they could compete for No.1

heyy it wasn’t one game he avg 15/9/2 in JUST 19min it’s 30ppg18rpg in 38mpg!!!!

EXACTLY CANES..ANOTHER THING NO ONE MENTION IS HE DOES THIS AGAINST THE CUPCAKES….THE SMALL CENTERS THAT CHECK HIM. oops caps was on. look at him when he plays good big men..uconn and carolina. he doesnt dominate anymore when he plays them. if people are gonna base him getting drafted by him dominating cupcakes then who ever is a big man dominating the WAC should be int he first round disscussions as well. i dont see him being a better player in the nba then in the pros because when he faced potential nba and for certain nba caliber big men he looked average-below average. he WILL not challenege for number one. i think some of the mock drafts have it right when they have him out of the lotto because they probably see how he plays against good bigmen compared to cupcakes

stats against legit big men- unc uconn

7pts 7reb 0.5blks 3fls 1trn 2.5 of his shots blocked
