[B]A pair of former Kentucky stars[/B] played well in the Kings intrasquad scrmmage yesterday.
[B]DeMarcus Cousins[/B] scored 13 points and had a game high 12 rebounds for the White team.
Joe Crawford, who is hoping to make one of the team’s final roster spots, put in 7 points on 3-5 shooting for the Black team.

[I][B]Cousins is a star.[/B] He has game from everywhere on the court, and hopefully that won’t be a problem. He has to do a better job hitting his free-throws but he hustled- even jumping on a small child in the stands to try to get an errant pass. He rebounds and he has Brad Miller-like vision on the outlet pass. Look for Omri Casspi and DMC to hook up a couple of times a game on the old cherry pick play. [/I]
[I][B]Joe Crawford[/B] is going to have a hard time making this team because of the numbers, but I must say that he is a much different person in game action than in practice. He is a leader on the floor and he really takes the ball to the hole hard.[/I]
