Re: NBA Draft Analysis: Top Five Picks

DeMarcus Cousins isn't deserving of a 78 rating. That sort of rating would make him a near all-star caliber player and close to a top 10 player at his position. There have been only three guys that deserved ratings that high over the last two decades, Shaquille, Tim and LeBron, and they were all selected #1 overall.

He's very good at scoring inside, especially using his bulk and strength, but does he possess refined post moves or a jumpshot? Is he a willing and effective passer? And can he defend players that are his size or that are quicker than him?

He's got a lot of questions to answer at the pro level before he deserves a rating so high.
