According to reports, the Sacramento Kings have decided to invest in the future of their best young player. DeMarcus Cousins, the sometimes troubled, but extremely talented young big man, was given a 4 year contract extension worth just over $60 million dollars. With the trade during the off season that sent Tyreke Evans to the Pelicans, it became clear who the Kings wanted to build around. He has always flashed a brilliant and athletic type of game, especially for a big man, but his run-ins with coaches and teammates at times have taken away from his talent on the court. Lately however, Cousins seems to be maturing. His coach mentioned how Cousins works out on his own time and organizes things for his teammates so they can all get together. With the addition of Shaq as a minority owner in the team, everyone is expecting him to mentor the young star so he can leave the nonsense alone and develop into the all-star that he can be.
