On the radio here I heard an interesting thought on Cousins. The injury he has, especially on a big man, is a very serious deal. Even people that come back from it, sometimes it takes 2 years before they are back to their old selves. That first year back they are careful, and not all there.
So imagine Boogie is that, 60-70% of himself. The Ws play very uptempo and Boogie is bad at getting back on transition D. That's even when he's not yelling at a ref instead of getting back.
So he's not 100% and the Ws don't play him that much. Not to mention the difficulty learning to play in a new system, and one where Cousins is the 4th option which is very new to him. That makes him mad, he's trying to showcase himself for a big contract. Could be an issue. Or rather, it's probably premature to just pencil in another all-star level player to the Ws.
No doubt having him will be better than not having him. But it may not be a tremendous amount better.
