I see the young DeMarcus Cousins breaking into this top ten or so ranking within the next 2 years.

The young fella, once engaged, has a fire in him. All I saw was that one game vs LA this year, and the Big Man impressed me...he hustled, dove for lose balls, you name it.

Once he matures, then he's well on his way. Sacramento would be foolish to trade him.
Dude hes already better than most guys on any of these lists. Look at the numbers hes putting up this year
http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/4258/demarcus-cousins

top 5 already
Putrid shooting percentage (mostly because he's horrible around the basket), constant foul trouble, and worse temper than KG, Sheed and Perkins.

Also, poor finishing ability contributes (quite considerably) to his significantly inflated rebounding (5 offensive, 6 defensive rebounds).

And all of this while playing of a horrid Sacramento team. Not even close to being top 5 in the league.

Last 5 games for cousins
21/19
17/10
16/10
19/15
26/3
PER is 22.26
He is better than Bogut and Noah and there is not a creature in existence on this planet who could care less than me if Demarcus Cousins gets grumpy sometimes. I look at numbers.

I have yet to see you add anything constructive to any discussion on celticsblog. Probly one of the more annoying posters on here.
