How so? Cousins is a slightly better rebounder and free throw shooter than Webber was. Other than that, Webber was on another planet compared to Cousins. Cousins is definitely a tier lower in terms of talent than Webber was. This isn't a knock on Cousins at all. It just goes to show you how insanely talented Webber was.Originally Posted by Heuge
Maybe and maybe not. It's a question that will be answered a few years down the road.Cuz can't shoot well near the rim and that was a speciality of CWebb's. So they are the same in some ways but waaaaay different in others.
BTW, does anyone have stats of Cuz near the rim and at 16 ft? I swear he looks better with that little 16 ft jumper than in closer.
Upwards and onwards.
Whoa. He was never convicted of raping a woman and his run ins with the law were matrihuana related

We had CWebb from 25-32 years old. Cuz is only 22 years old. Webbs 3rd year at 22 he only played in 15 games. The only area's webb was better was shooting % and assists. Also, his shooting % dropped when he came to sacramento.
Webb also had problems staying on the court. the most games in a season was 76 his rookie year.

It's hard to randomly pick two players like the poster asked to do. To be honest, the question was originally asked so that the Jazz fan could find yet another way to tell us that Cuz isnt very good.
I will say this, Demarcus has the potential to have as good of a career as Webb. Will he? Probably not, but the skills have the potential to get there.
I will always be a Kings fan, even after the day they die.
Holy carp. I really can't believe the stats Cousins has put up the last few games, it doesn't look like he is getting those numbers while playing. He gets a double double and it doesn't look like he's even trying.
too talented

"Last year it was Abe Pollin's widow and this year it was a 14-year-old boy and the only thing we have in common is we have both been bar mitzvahed. We were done. I told Kevin: 'We're toast.' This is not happening for us and I was right." David Kahn
His stats in the last few games aren't that impressive.
agreed, tripple doubles are dime a dozen.
A triple double is great, less great when you go 4-12 for 10 points. 10 rebounds is also good but Big not like he was a rebounding monster. 10 assist is really good. No argument here.
every other center is doing this in the league.

Ya, your boy Favors is ripping it up at 6.4 RPG.

Lets not be silly.
This isn't about Favors vs Cousins. This is about a center that is 6'11" and 270lbs and played 31 min getting 10 boards. It is good but it isn't great. The impressive part of his triple double were the assists.
BTW Favors plays 21 min a game. 6.4 rebs is good.
Actually if you were to really analyze the assists, many of them came late in the game when the outcome had already been decided. The Celtics had given up and weren't playing defense and DMC was looking to pass to anybody to get the the triple double. He probably shouldn't have even been in the game at that point. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that he got the triple double and all but when you look deeper you might have to put an asterisk next to it. It's no different than Bricklayer being critical of Jimmer in the Kings-Pistons game thread even though he scored a bunch of points in the 4th quarter and helped the Kings comeback.

Actually NO. Yes it was in late game blowout. The amazing part was they were doing it running an offense. The went to Cuz in the high post and he was finding the open man. I don't care if they were up 50 or down 50 they were executing!

If he was better he would be getting more minutes. He would also foul out at 40 mins.

I agree they were actually running an offense and executing but the point is the Celtics were not playing defense at that point. They had thrown in the towel.

Cuosins wouldn't be starting over Jefferson.
Webber was a glorified failure and a F-up! He calls a time out when there are none.......granted college but still a F-up....
Webber missed a three to continue a play off run........
WEBBER BLEW OUT HIS OWN KNEES
WEBBER BLEW OUT HIS OWN KNEES
oh by the way WEBBER BLEW OUT HIS OWN KNEES
Put Cousins on the team that was around WEBBER!
I can't remember one time Webber did anything that would actually help this team in crunch time.......
The only game-winner I remember Webber hitting was regular season and it was two seconds past regulation (meaningless)
I don't know why everyone glorifies WEbber.......in my eyes Webber was the only reason we weren't more successful
