Despite that my boy DeMarcus Cousins has said that the Kings offense is smoother with Darren Collison at the point compared to Isaiah Thomas. I still think the Kings screwed up.
Isaiah Thomas is better than Darren Collison. But if Boogie Cousins feels like there’s improvement, then I can’t argue with that.
ProBasketballTalk reports that DeMarcus Cousins, the best player on the Sacramento squad thinks that the ball is moving better thanks to Darren Collison. Who knew?
Cousins has a point.
Thomas possessed the ball 22 percent of the time he played last season compared to 14 percent for Collison.
But the discussion can’t end there as if all movement is equal and good.
When Thomas possessed the ball, good things happened. He’d either score efficiently or set up a teammate for a good look. Thomas’ passing numbers (32.2 assist percentage, 14.3 turnover percentage) dwarf Collison’s (21.9 assist percentage, 14.3 turnover percentage).
I think I’ve exhausted this point enough.
Of course a player can change once their on a different team but I don’t believe Collison will have the jump that Eric Bledsoe did once he got a starting role on another team.
