“Boogie” Cousins signed a max contract extension with the Kings just before the season started and has proved he’s every bit worth it. A double-double machine, Cousins leads all centers in scoring. Unfortunately though, the Kings remain one of the worst teams in the league due to the lack of talent filling out the roster. If the Kings are ever able to land an elite perimeter player to play with Cousins, the team will have a realistic shot at returning to the playoffs.
