Who would you rather have? DeMarcus Cousins or Enes Kanter?

Time will tell with Kanter, but just going off what we do know i'd take Cousins,he has legit center size and length and is really skilled for being only 20 years old

I've seen him fight and scrap to help his team win and for a young guy showing that toughness early in your career says a lot.

I would love to see this matchup. I would love to see Enas running Cousins down the court and beating him down the court for easy points. Cousins could pound the ball inside though. It would be a fun matchup to watch.

That is VERY fair. I held my own against thousands (literallyO on message boards about Cousins NOT being a head case. I love Cousins, my kids played XBox with him and think he's the best, ever. My endorsement of Kanter isn't homerism, as I love'm both.

Yes, 100%. I don't know the combine numbers off the top of my head .. but in live play, definitely.

Maybe, but is he a better athlete because he is in better shape? Cousins came into the combine last year with 16% body fat, Kanter with 6%.
 
It would be interesting if a Sac-town/Jazz rivalry reemerged... especially with the Jimmer pick and the similar Kentucky guys. An added aspect would be if we got Knight, then there would be the competing Calipari guards with Ty Evans.

I'd take Cousins from a skill standpoint, but Kanter is probably the contribute to the overall goal of the team guy.
 
If Cousins can ever get his act straight, then definitely him. He has a special skill set.

/I'm only saying this because we know so little about Kanter. Kind of hard to pick when he haven't seen one of the them play
 
Cousins has proven that he can play very well at an NBA level already, and he is only going into his second season at 20 years old. Kanter hasn't played ball in a while, I think that based on that it would be really hard to take Enes over Cousins.

Still, Cousins has the immaturity and lack of work ethic that will render all of that talent useless. You really have to question his commitment to the game and mental toughness. Kanter might not have the raw talent, but he is clearly a very hard worker and has a natural enthusiasm for the game.

I'll say this much, it will be much more enjoyable to root/cheer for Kanter than it would be for Cousins.
