Why This Game Is Where It Is On The List: I have this game just barely breaking the top five of Cousins’ career mostly because Boogie really did it all. Cousins totaled 27 points (on just 16 shots), nine rebounds, five assists and five blocks in just 34 minutes in the Sacramento victory, showing just how versatile he can be.

I think that’s really what makes DeMarcus Cousins the kind of guy you can build a team around. He has shown that he can score, rebound, pass, steal and block shots already in his career–being that well-rounded is something a lot of guys never accomplish, much less by the age of 24.
