Did you keep up with the NBA Summer League? More specifically did you follow DeMarcus Cousins and the Sacramento Kings? Just to give a quick recap in case you missed it, Cousins averaged 14.5 ppg and 9.8 rpg which included a double-double in the first four games and 16 points and 10 rebounds versus the Raptors. It was a great set of games for Cousins.

Why is this important you ask? Well, it seems as if at least [URL=”http://www.hoopskarma.com/hk/2010/7/19/nba-las-vegas-summer-league-final-observations.html”]one person[/URL] saw a different set of games. Perhaps he was watching someone play with DeMarcus Cousins in a video game? Maybe the guy was drunk watching the games? No, I got it. He just got Cousins confused with someone else because I never saw “the wheels come off,” did you? Here is the part you should be interested in:

Wheels Are Already Coming Undone
Sacramento C DeMarcus Cousins might be the most talented player of the 2010 rookie crop, but his maturity and attitude issues are well known from his one season at Kentucky. Cousins started out quite well in the Summer League, averaging 18 ppg on 46% shooting, 11 rpg (3.7 offensive), 3.0 apg, and 4.0 fouls over his first three games. Once he faced adversity in Game Four against a loaded Toronto squad, though, it all went to hell. His averages over his last three games (the Kings were the only team to play 6 Summer League contests) were 11 ppg on 20% shooting, 8 rpg (2.0 offensive), 0.7 apg, and 5.7 fouls. His old ways were noticeable to anyone who watched these last few games (*****ing, moaning, obviously unfocussed), making one wonder what to expect from Cousins in the regular season when he’ll face tons of adversity as a member of the lowly Kings.[/quote]
I am totally fine with criticism when it is warranted. But this guy is way off base. I just can’t see where Cousins met any of the characteristics this guy mentions. Cousins had a fabulous debut in my useless opinion. I think others would agree. I am not sure where this guy had his head when Boogie was on the floor.
Oh well, on to other UK news. Try to at least be polite to this guy when leaving a comment below.
