Cousin is stable!
Shams brother revealed that the Nuggets plan to sign Cousins until the end of the season!
How strong the Nuggets team is, don't talk about it, in the case of the team's loss of core members Porter Jr. and Murray, only relying on the double tower combination of about teachers and 9-point dunk king, it can still maintain a strong, playing a record of 33 wins and 25 losses, ranking sixth in the West;
At present, the team has ushered in a three-game winning streak, according to the president of the Nuggets, Porter Jr. and Murray will return in the near future, when the Nuggets are bound to usher in a wave of counterattacks.
The reason why Cousins was signed to the end of the season is that the team still has a role in the cousin, playing in 8 games for the Nuggets this season, averaging 13.1 minutes per game, 6.1 points, 6.3 boards and 1.1 assists.
It doesn't matter if you are constipated from time to time, the key is to look at the market, and it is difficult to find a suitable candidate for the replacement of the teacher.
In fact, if Cousins can maintain this statistic in the future seasons, or even in the playoffs, then it will give Jokic a lot of breathing space;
This season, Jokic averaged 33 minutes per game, can get 26 points, 13.8 boards and 7.9 assists, in terms of playing time, Jokic teachers are less than the core players of other teams such as Doncic, Curry, etc., and the playing time is close to Embiid, which will be very helpful for the two in their respective playoff competitions;
The center players are already full of confrontation during the game, and the introduction of a substitute center is undoubtedly an insurance for the team that builds a team around the center.
What's even more interesting is that during Cousins' time with the Nuggets, as long as he played in the game, the Nuggets won all!
Not to mention whether the cousin has mascot attributes for the Nuggets, from a functional point of view alone, Cousins can definitely meet all the expectations of Coach Malone on the tactical level for the fifth position;
Unlike the previous Plumlee, the role of the cousin is definitely not only reflected in the blocking of the pie, you know, once Cousins is the league's first center, since it can do the league's first, it is not only a deterrent under the basket so simple, in the Kings period, its ability to respond is also a must, once in the 17-18 season Cousins averaged a total of 5.4 assists per game.
Unlike Mr. Yo, Cousins is a typical beast-type interior line, and being able to deliver such a considerable assist every game definitely confirms his cousin's talent in organizing tandem, which is presumably the second reason why the Nuggets will leave Cousins behind.
Unconsciously, Cousins is 31 years old this year, after experiencing three major injuries to the Achilles tendon, quadriceps and cruciate ligament, his career is also in a slump, whether it is the haste to go to the Warriors, or the embarrassment of the Lakers, let us sigh at this first center full of personality and talent;
I hope my cousin can realize his value on the Nuggets and let more teams recognize him!
