			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="DeMarcus Cousins" src="http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2010/0126/nba_g_cousins_576.jpg" alt="" width="496" height="279" /></p>
<p>The workout was closed to media types, which I only pretend to be on weekends, thus, I was not able to attend the hoo-rah. However, those with fancy insider ties such as Yahoo&#8217;s Adrian Wojnarowski were able to get a bit of news from inside the basketball bunkers.</p>
<p><a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ys-favorscousins061310" target="_blank">According to Wojnarowski</a>,</p>
<blockquote><p>Cousins had an excellent workout with the Sacramento  Kings, grading out as the best shooter to visit Sacramento in the predraft process. He hit 78 percent of his shots in the workout,  including a lot of pick-and-pop attempts.</p>
<p>Favors graded out as the far better athlete, but the Kings, who have  the No. 5 pick in the draft, believed Cousins was a more advanced  player. He showed Sacramento officials more range than they thought he  had, consistently hitting the 17-foot jumper. The Kings are considering  several players, but Cousins could be difficult to pass over.</p>
<p>Sources say the Kings are also still open to trade possibilities, and  Detroit and Utah are two teams eager to move up in the draft. The  Pistons’ Tayshaun  Prince could be intriguing to the Kings, who are eager to add a veteran small  forward to the roster.</p></blockquote>
<p>Yea. I don&#8217;t know about that whole Tayshaun Prince thing. So, I&#8217;m just going to pretend I didn&#8217;t see that and stick my fingers in my ears while I shout obscenities loudly.</p>
<p>The Bee&#8217;s <a href="http://www.sacbee.com/2010/06/13/2818846/ailene-voisin-cousins-passion.html" target="_blank">Ailene Voisin</a> also weighed in on the Cousins workout:</p>
<blockquote><p>As for that big body and the tendency to get too big? None of that is  fiction. The man is huge.</p>
<p>Yet except for an unacceptably high  body-fat percentage (16.4) and a soft spot around the middle that was  apparent when he obliged and lifted his jersey, Cousins is hardly a  blimp.</p>
<p>At 6-foot-11 and 290 pounds, he has long, thick arms and  immense hands. Much of his length is in his torso, and though he&#8217;s not  known for leaping ability, his strong core and wide hips enable him to  establish inside position and control the boards.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s got the  size to play center,&#8221; Petrie noted. &#8220;He&#8217;s got a natural position, maybe  two.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>If you can excuse the pornographic detailing of Cousins in that piece, you&#8217;ll come to the conclusion that he&#8217;s not as fat (but he is PHAT with a P, amirite!?!?!? HOLLLA) as some pundits want you to believe.</p>
<p>All in all, the workout seemed to go just about as good as it could have for Cousins &#8211; a good thing for he and the Kings, so it seems.</p>
<p>P.S. &#8211; There seems to be a lot of fucking posts about DeMarcus Cousins here lately. Thus, I&#8217;m renaming this blog DeMarcus Cousins &amp; Sacramento Kings 4ever!!1!1! &lt;3 &lt;3</p>

<p>According to <a href="http://twitter.com/mr_jasonjones" target="_blank">Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee</a>, the Sacramento Kings will workout uber-prospects Derrick Favors and DeMarcus Cousins tomorrow afternoon. Both players are considered the premier prospects at their respective positions, despite both being only freshmen.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s expected that Favors will go to the New Jersey Nets with the third pick but Cousins quite possibly could be available for the Kings assuming the Minnesota Timberwolves attempt to fill out their small forward need with Syracuse&#8217;s Wesley Johnson.</p>
<p>It was first rumored that Cousins and Favors would face off against each other, however, that planned has been nixed thanks to their agents. Can&#8217;t lower that draft stock baby!</p>
<p>The workout will also be off limits to media members other than for interviews, so, if you&#8217;re hoping to see the workout &#8211; I suggest you fire up NBA 2k10 and get to bidness.</p>
<p>Hopefully Cousins impresses the Kings enough not only with his game but his questionable attitude, as he&#8217;s my number one obtainable prospect for the Kings.</p>
