[B]Former UK big man DeMarcus Cousins[/B] led the entire NBA in rebounding last night as he pulled down 16 boards.
He added 16 points to earn a double-double in his first NBA preseason game.
Art Garcia of [URL=”http://hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2010/10/06/cousins-leads-other-rooks/”]Hangtime Blog[/URL] said Cousins “bullied his way” to his big numbers.
Jason Jones of the [URL=”http://www.sacbee.com/2010/10/06/3083022/cousins-impressive-in-kings-exhibition.html”]Sacramento Bee[/URL] thinks Cousins lived up to his hype in his first appearance:

The marketing types took a liking to DeMarcus Cousins months before he had played a game at Arco Arena, as evidenced by the poster of the Kings rookie on the side of Arco.
But the hype would mean little if Cousins didn’t have any game to back up the hoopla.
One exhibition game into his NBA career, Cousins justified the excitement
