What does this board thinks of Cousins defensively?

He is very skilled offensively, but for a player that's highly regarded around the league he surely doesn't give the same effort defensively as he does on the offensive side of the ball. We give Asik grief, but he did give good effort on the defensive side of the ball. Every time I see Cousins play defense, he's always the last man down the court and gives a lazy arse effort when having to guard anyone. Hopefully, playing along side AD will rub off on come the start of next season.

Stats and eye test tell me he's an average defender whose rebounding makes him a slight plus defender.

Cousins has the 3rd best DRtg on the team. I think he can give you a lot of what Asik gave you on defense with more blocks, steals and the ability to lead the break off the rebound/turnover. So far the DRtg for the AD/DC 2 man lineup is 97.5. Compare that to 100.5 for AD/Asik in the Monty playoff year which has always been regarded as a 2 man lineup that worked defensively at least, although the numbers under Gentry have been bad.

His rim protection numbers (when he gets there) are actually decent. He's 14th in DIFF% and 15th in DFG% at the rim among centers, since joining the Pels.

I "thinks" he's above average if he stays in shape.

Average defender. Lazy, out of shape, doesn't care
