I saw him play one week ago with Rondo on the Kentucky All Star Team.  He definitely has an NBA body and is decent athletic wise.   He was great with the crowd and easily was the second most cheered with Rondo being the third most.   Harrelson got the loudest cheers but he does a lot for our area.   He was very personable and got up in the crowd and they loved that.

He did nothing but shoot threes for his warmup with a few dunks.  I am not crazy about three point shooting centers. I also notcied while he hit some his foot placement was horrible on his jumpers.   He doesn't really square up per se and had one of them out to the side which no doubt caused some of his misses.   His upper body was somewhat and his elbow was aligned but his footwork was raw.   He dominated inside but that was expected against NAIA and a 6'9" guy guarding him. 

I would love to get him as a young big to develop.   I think he has more upside than Baby and he rebounds decently.   Rondo could pressure him too as he was a Wildcat like him.

I too think we will need Green and I would put together an offer for him with Davis and a pick.   A 6'8" lazy guy against a 6'11" lazy guy I would take the taller guy every time.  Cousins has really long arms a 7-5 or 7-6 reach.  His standing reach is 9.5 feet.  I think having Rondo as a PG would help his FG% as would playing with RA, PP and KG.

We are going to have to rebuild at some point.  If we can make the right deal I would do it.  No guarentee they would though I think one of the number one from the Clippers and Baby and filler might do it.

I would easily trade Baby and the clippers pick for Cousins. I'm not sure the kings would do it though. With Cousins, Rondo, and Green, we would have a great foundation for the post big 3 team.
