DeMarcus Cousins

A player that is currently representing the United States in the Olympics, has been to the All-Star game a total of two times in the last two seasons and is known through the NBA world as one of the best big men in the game today…

I’m going on a limb to say that DeMarcus Cousins will be the starting center for the Kings next season.

In the past few years, Boogie Cousins has been a powerhouse for the Kings. Since being drafted by the franchise in 2010, he has averaged 20.2 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. In his most recent season, Cousins averaged a whopping 26.9 points and 11.5 rebounds per game while earning NBA 2nd Team Honors.

There is a fair argument that Cousins is a Top 10 talent in the league, and based off that notion and the production that he has had in the past is why everyone and their grandmother knows that Cousins will be starting at center for the Kings if he remains on the roster.
