DeMarcus Cousins is confident about his talent. Recently he made a comment that he is the best player to come through the Kings franchise.
The five-time NBA All-Star was drafted by Sacramento in 2010 as the fifth overall pick and spent seven seasons with the team.
During the 2016-2017 season Cousins averaged 27.8 points, 10.6 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 34.4 minutes per game before getting traded to the Pelicans.
Via Marc J. Spears of Andscape:
“You averaged 21.1 points and 10.8 rebounds in seven seasons with Sacramento after they drafted you with the fifth overall pick in the 2010 NBA draft. Would you want to see your No. 15 jersey retired there?
“DeMarcus Cousins: I put the time and work in. I hold many records there. I honestly think I’m the best player to ever come through Sacramento. And I stand on that, absolutely.”
