DeMarcus Cousins: C

NEW ORLEANS, LA – JANUARY 26: DeMarcus Cousins /

Yes, although DeMarcus Cousins did get injured in late January, he has played over 200 minutes for the Pels this term, therefore qualifying for a report card. And in January, Boogie was on a bit of a shooting slump, shooting 41% from the field, 28.9% from three and 52.4% true shooting. He was still very much a valuable player when on the floor for the Pels, but his shooting was pretty suspect this term.

But seven games does not make a season and before his horrific achilles tear, Cousins was off to one of the best seasons of his career, with a career high true shooting percentage and career second box plus minus. Hopefully he re-signs this offseason so we can see what a full “Fire & Ice”
season finally looks like.
