If only DeMarcus Cousins was as good at lying as he is in the low post.
After creating a small stir by seemingly express displeasure with the Kings’ moves on draft night with a conveniently-timed subtweet, Cousins tried his best to set the record straight on Friday, albeit jestingly so.
The All-Star center told Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated that the tweet had nothing to do with the draft and instead joked that it was about “a hot sculpting class.”
Now, I’m not gonna deny the power of the art of sculpting to serve as a deep religious experience. But Boogie doesn’t seem entirely convincing here.
Either way, Cousins probably has good reason to be irked with Sacramento’s draft night decisions. They traded down from the No. 8 spot to select a couple of project big men (unknown Greek center Georgios Papagiannis at No. 13 and unrefined Kentucky big man Skal Labissiere at No. 28) to crowd the Kings’ frontcourt with Cousins, Willie Cauley-Stein, and Kosta Koufos. They also managed to acquire Bogdan Bogdanovic for their troubles while trading Marco Belinelli, a three-point shooter on an affordable contract, for the No. 22 pick (Syracuse’s Malachi Richardson) in a separate deal.
With the amount of frustration Cousins has suffered at the hands of the Kings over the years, at some point he may just quit basketball altogether and actually become a professional sculptor.
