STRENGTHS:
As the 5th pick in the 2010 draft, Cousins came in with a chip on his shoulder saying on draft day "I will prove I am better then Derrick Favors." It is safe to say that Demarcus Cousins has proven that and more. DMC is an elite rebounder at both ends averaging 10.7 RPG throughout his career with a career high 12.7 in 14-15. Great passer for a big man averaging 4.5 APG in 16-17. Has developed three point range and shooting it at a 37% clip. Is elite getting to the line and decent from there for a big man at 73% for his career. Good ability to steal the ball at his size with nearly 1.5 SPG for his career. Because his offense is so good, his defense gets overlooked which is definitely a positive in his game. Decent shot blocker that can average 1.5 to 2 BPG for a season. Has great ballhandling skills for a big man. Is an elite scorer averaging over 25 PPG thus far through his 4 prime seasons and can score in a variety of ways including down in the low block, mid range jumpshot and out to the three point line. Great athlete at his size.

WEAKNESSES:
Turnover prone at almost 3.5 TOPG over his career. Has character issues that often lead to clashes with teammates and coaches and has often been blamed for chemistry issues amongst his team. Has not won at all at the NBA level which has had people question his impact to a winning team.
