NBA TOP 3 DRAFT PICKS (WHY NOT COUSINS?)

by RAY MERNAGH

Kind of an interesting bit of info came out recently — I think on SI.com — about the who the top 3 picks of the next NBA draft will be. The picks were John Wall, Wes Johnson and Evan Turner — with Wall probably being the top choice (something I’ve believed for a long time). But here’s the question I have: If you watched DeMarcus Cousins the last few times he’s been on TV, wouldn’t you be hard-pressed to maybe pull the trigger on him after Wall goes first?

The guys a monster offensively and he’s still learning how to play. His motor seems to be just fine. the thing that really stood out to me about his game against South Carolina was, even though Downey broke his ankles, and he got his shot blocked once, he was the one guy on Kentucky that made a big-time play down the stretch. He plays hard, or at least seems to everytime I watch him.

Now he allegedly popped a fan in South Carolina but hey, I told you he was nasty!

He’s 6′11″, 260 pounds and nasty. How many offensively truly gifted post players are there in the NBA right now? Shoot, how many gifted post players are there in college hoops?

I believe by the time the tournament is over Cousins will crack that top 3.
