    Seeeeeeeeeeeeee this is the one I always come back to. He was dominate in the post and was a pass first guard. The only problem is his outside shot was horrific. I like to think my form is a little better than that. At the same time he was a more consistent free throw shooter than I am. That's probably the closest though.

    I disagree. Randolph plays zero D and @hoopsjock is a shot blocker.

    Guys, it's Demarcus Cousins.

    And the blazer his game most resembles is none other than Bill Walton.

    HJ is a great passer. Gotta keep my eyes up whenever I cut

    Cousins is a good one. He can be a bully in the post when he wants to be.

    I don't know about his defense, it's not bad but I don't know if he's ever blocked my shot, I feel like I have a pretty decent gauge on when I have room to get a shot up though. I also haven't attacked the rim around him much. I'm 100% sure he could block my shots around the rim though if I'm not careful.

    Walton would be the highest compliment you could give the big guy!

    So you're saying he's temperamental, chews his fingernails a lot, and doesn't play defense ....

    My post defense has gotten great in recent years. I have found it's better to play straight up and make players take tough shots rather than trying to block their shot. Part of that though is that my foot problems pretty much kill what little leaping ability I have. My perimeter defense deteriorates every year as I get older, slower, and my foot issues get worse. For example, I can stop Bones from scoring much inside but I have to give him space on the perimeter or he'd blow right by me. My main strength defensively is my help defense and awareness, which doesn't really show in a pick up game. It's not ideal to have me guarding the other team's best perimeter player because I can't help off of him either.

    I never really got to see this guy play, but a lot of older people tell me I play just like Dave Cowens.

    I was going to bring up Cowens. Ive only seen the video of you guys last summer so I got see see of number of you guys play.
    Cowens would be a good comparison.
    I watched him and Petrie go ta several times during their co-rookie years.

    I've been told Cowens would get rebounds and push the ball up the court himself to go coast to coast or to dump it off for an easy assist. I do that a lot in a full court game. It's kind of a useless skill in a half court 3 on 3 setting though, ha ha.

    I'm going to have to block the shit out of you in the 3 on 3 tourney now just so you can't claim that anymore.

    Plus I already admitted I don't go for a lot of blocks on the guy I'm defending, it's usually off of help so I'm either on your team or guarding you directly.
