Demarcus Cousins to Win ROY +1000

**Bradyd** · 07-11-10, 03:41 PM

I'm going with Blake Griffin. I believe he still counts as a rookie...

**Fiasco01** · 07-11-10, 05:51 PM

I think there's a little value but given the amount of touches he'll get compared to Wall/Turner/Griffin, I think his odds are pretty accurate.

**Manaconda** · 07-12-10, 01:25 AM

i havent looked for it yet but when i find it, durant to win MVP seems like a great one.. i see it going either durant or kobe since lebrons got that supporting cast now

I think Cousins was a great draft pick, and I would have taken him at #3. He will be a defensive presence and a rebounding machine. However, I don't think he'll get a ton of points, which is the main thing they look at. He may be the most valuable rookie, but I don't think he'll win the award.

**Fiasco01** · 07-12-10, 07:58 AM

The last five seasons the ROY has gone to a guard...I'm not saying it's not possible but it's highly unlikely Cousins puts up consistent enough numbers to get ROY.

This looks like a pretty damn nice future. He'll be playing on a team that scores a lot of points and will allow him the playing time to put up numbers every night, and he's already the most NBA ready player in the league. They also don't have a big man, which would allow him to start.

Anybody else with me on this value bet?

I think Paul George is going to have a phenomenal year, my darkhorse for ROTY. I think Blake Griffen is the best play here for sure though.

dark horse indeed

**Congruency** · 07-13-10, 11:34 PM

cousins wont even start right? dalembert should get most of the C minutes and landry should get most of the PF

never heard of a ROY that came off the bench

**Kaabee** · 07-13-10, 11:43 PM

wathced a little bit of him in a summer league game the other day. the guy is definitely talented.

**Sunde91** · 07-13-10, 11:56 PM

He SUCKS..

Will he even make a roster

No work ethic, no skill, total bum..

**LLXC** · 07-14-10, 12:06 AM

Wish the Warriors had the #5 pick...

**lolbear** · 07-14-10, 12:18 AM

not enough value here, several strong competitors

**winningdoc** · 07-14-10, 12:18 AM

Yeah I don't see this being a good choice

**Foals** · 07-14-10, 12:25 AM

dont see it happening

**jboy4** · 07-14-10, 12:33 AM

John Wall takes this hands down

**THEGREAT30** · 07-14-10, 04:30 AM

he will win it

**Fiasco01** · 07-14-10, 08:16 AM

After watching him in 2 summer league games he has potential to win it, POTENTIAL. He clearly has an underrated passing ability which could prove quite nice this season IF he can stay on the court. It already looks like he slimmed down a little so the work ethic is in place.

**GroundnPound** · 07-14-10, 09:05 AM

When I watched Cousins at Kentucky he has the slickest post moves, I really want to see him flourish.

**chibears** · 07-14-10, 09:17 AM

maybe. i can see it. worth a shot

**BrigadierPudding** · 07-14-10, 11:08 AM

I like the value but I think Wall is the clear favorite. Cousins could turn out being the 2nd best player from this draft. Evan Turner looked like a complete stiff in the Orlando summer league.

**Marigold HD** · 07-15-10, 02:29 AM

Cousins looking great in the NBA summer league......Feels he has something to prove

**Diesel79** · 07-15-10, 02:36 AM

He will be 20/10 guy rest of his career if he can go first few seasons without arrests and legal troubles

**zafzaf** · 07-15-10, 02:40 AM

i see Wall or Cousins to win ROY

**nbarlotta3** · 07-15-10, 02:50 AM

It's worth throwing 10 dollars on. Anything more would be stupid.

What did Blake Griffen do last season? He reminded me of Oden. Both were first in the draft and then missed out the first year of their NBA careers with injuries. Are they paid when they were injured? What a nice way to earn money without doing anything.

**jlgarciaiii22** · 07-16-10, 12:06 AM

Longshot... Will take some time for him to develop into the star he should be...

Wade has a good shot at MVP next year. Remember MVP is primarily to do with record. The Heat will have the best record in the NBA next year.

Don't count out Wesley Johnson for ROY. Cousins won't win I guarantee it. He is going to be in foul trouble for the most part of next season and be sharing minutes.

**TGHMak** · 07-16-10, 03:33 AM

John Wall should be the ROY next year but there no value in a bet like this, especially since the Wizards hasn't straightened out their roster yet.

**TheCommish** · 07-16-10, 06:56 AM

I really don't think there is much value in those odds. He's a real longshot to win.

**Grits n' Gravy** · 07-16-10, 04:23 PM

Been to a few of the summer games and he looks like a beast. Very polished in the low block. He's going to have to work for his stats. Evans is kind of a ball hog.

**Time is Money** · 07-16-10, 09:07 PM

yeah i think its just way too tough to beat out wall. cousins is gonna be nice tho, smh at dudes saying hes trash

Samardo Samuels out played him yesterday in summer league. I can't believe this guy went undrafted. He's a beast.

**jollyoscars** · 07-18-10, 03:44 PM

still cant believe he wasnt picked in the top 3

**Glitch** · 07-18-10, 10:08 PM

Evan Turner
