D-League Point Guard- Isaiah Cousins

Isaiah Cousins is a player to keep an eye on during the preseason.  The Kings could use a 3rd point guard during Darren Collison’s suspension, but Cousins has to earn that job.  Cousins was a 4-year college player at Oklahoma and the Kings selected him 59th overall in the NBA Draft.  He would not be the first 2nd round pick to earn a role on an NBA team from day one, but certainly, he is probably ticketed for Reno.

Playing all the minutes he can handle in Reno is probably the best thing for his development.  Let him get the experience of playing point guard and running your offense in the D-League.  If he proves he is ready and you have some playing time for him, then bring him up and let him gain that NBA experience.  Below is a highlight video from his time at Oklahoma to give you a glimpse of his game.

I am excited to see what Cousins brings to the table this preseason and if he proves he can move ahead of Farmar or Lawson on the depth chart this season.  Stay tuned.
