I doubt that he comes back. But as good as he is, his court awareness needs a good deal of improvemrnt. Once he gets to the pro level, he should adjust better....in that he won't have to do all that much.

I think he'll find his nitch as a number 2. Good NBA defenders will clean his clock as a number 1.

Add this to the short list of things we agree on.

I could see him going #1, but I doubt it. He's a freak athletically, but I don't feel that his basketball skills are anything more than getting rebounds and put backs. Let's not even mention his basketball IQ is absolutely terrible.

You don't go 17-20 on your first 20 shots of the tournament with a shitty basketball IQ. Not saying it's LeBron level, but he doesn't look like a dumb player to me--he moves well without the ball, good strong post moves, crashes the boards, knows how to defend. He might be a little lazy but I don't think he's a dumb player.

Hes not dumb. He just has a temper. That is not the same thing. Cousins will be a stud PF in the league.
