Despite his on and off court issues, DeMarcus Cousins is filled with a lot of untapped potential.
In two out of his three seasons in the league, Cousins has been in the top 10 in rebounding. During his sophomore season, he gave his best outing by averaging 18.1 points and 11 rebounds while leading the league in offensive rebounds.
At just 22 years old, Cousins is seeking a breakout season in the near future, and with new management and a new coach, he can be the foundation of a winning franchise.
