DeMarcus Cousins signs with the Guaynabo Mets of Puerto Rico. The one who was chosen in four times for the All-Star (2015,2016,2017 and 2018) leaves the NBA aside and seeks to relaunch his career in other competitions.
As reported The new day and subsequently confirmed Adrian Wojnarowskithe former player of Sacramento Kings y New Orleans Pelicansamong other things, is preparing a possible return to the best basketball competition in the world.
Chosen in the number 5 of the Draft of 2010 following having a great season in Kentucky, the center amazed the world with his technical and physical abilities near and far from the basket. For several seasons he was considered one of the best interiors, if not the best, in the entire NBA. In the 11 seasons in the American League, Cousins has averaged 19.6 points, 10.2 rebounds and 1.3 steals of ball in the 654 parties that you have disputed
The player born in Alabama was chosen for the best quintet of the competition in the 2014/2015 y 2015/2016. His time with the Kings will remain in the memories of Sacramento fans. A unique talent, capable of scoring more than 50 points on two occasions (56 vs Hornets y 55 vs Portland), both figures in 2016.
In the 2016/2017 season he was transferred to the Pelicans. The expectations of the couple that would form Anthony Davis and he were not fulfilled except on spontaneous occasions. Later, as a free agent, he signed with the Golden State Warriors in 2018/2019, reaching the “super team” that formed Steve Kerr con Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson y Kevin Durantamong others.
On August 16, 2019 suffered a anterior cruciate ligament tearr during a workout. Since then, he has never been the same. I’m going through Houston, Clippers, Milwaukee y Denver before deciding to go to Puerto Rico.
In the Mets of the Puerto Rican league he will not be alone, since there he will find Ed Davis, who entered the same Draft as him and also spent 11 seasons in the NBA and a classic as Renaldo Balkmanwho continues to play his 38 years. There, Cousins will try to return to his best level and find his way back to the American League, where he belongs.
