DeMarcus Cousins agrees to 4-year, $62 million contract extension with Kings

Cousins and Sanders really couldn’t be more different. Cousins is an elite offensive talent with all the tools to be a dominant center, although he hasn’t put it all together on that end. The 23-year-old is also a good rebounder, but his effort on the defensive end is lacking and his maturity issues contributed to him leading the NBA in technical fouls last year. (Not to mention multiple flagrant fouls and suspensions).

Compare that to Cousins, who actually impacted the Kings negatively last season. Sacramento was better both offensively and defensively last season when Cousins was on the bench, according to NBA.com.
