19. DeMarcus Cousins 

1 season, 15.1 points. 9.8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks, 1 steal, 1 assist, 34.2 PER

Despite sharing the court with stars like John Wall, Eric Bledsoe and Patrick Patterson, DeMarcus Cousins was arguably the most dominating force of that group. He was the first great post player John Calipari had at Kentucky and Cousins responded by being named second team All-American as a freshman.

Cousins got to the free-throw line over seven times a game, despite playing just 23.5 minutes per game. If you go to a per 40 minutes, Cousins would have averaged 25.8 points and 16.8 rebounds per game. Pretty impressive for a guy who wasn’t the best player on his team.
