Demarcus Cousins Needs To Grow Up Fast

Demarcus Cousins has all the potential in the world, but he is a head case and a nightmare for an NBA coach and team. Why can't this budding star realize how good he is? Why can't he just focus on basketball and not make stupid decisions. Adding insult to injury, Demarcus Cousins is suspended tonight and in the King's next game for trying to get into a fight with the Spurs play by play man. No you did not read that incorrectly. Demarcus Cousins tried to fight a TV commentator after a game.

Let's talk about Demarcus Cousins' past for a minute. He demanded a trade last season because he did not like the head coach. He gets into unnecessary fights and quarrels as if they were contractual obligations. Also, he averaged 18 points and 11 rebounds per game in only his second season... Oh Demarcus when will you stop being this way. In fact, it looks like Demarcus' influence has rubbed off on a newly aspiring street fighter, Thomas Robinson. .. but I digress. 

The curious thing about the Kings is that they have a plethora of talent on their roster. Tyreke Evans, Isiah Thomas, Marcus Thornton, Demarcus Cousins, and Thomas Robinson make up a formidable starting 5 in the NBA, yet they probably will never get to play to their potential because of their immaturity. The tough guy mentality has to disappear quickly or else this perpetual lottery team will overthrow the Bobcats as the laughing stock of the NBA.
