Cousins came in the league as a starter. He dominated in college and beasted in the pro's. Favors couldn't start for the Nets.

That still doesn't answer my question.

The situations that they were drafted in, were not even similar to compare. If Cousins was traded to Utah instead of Favors, he too wouldn't be starting either.

Honestly, effort like that matters if you are trying to install a defensive culture. Everyone loves Thibs but Noah is the only reason this sh*t works. He comes to Atlanta and he will be pulling hair with Josh Smith.

You don't draft small forwards 2nd overall for hustle. Thabo hustles, Metta hustles.

He's goal post posting. The bottom-line is if he thinks Cousins is this great player, let him. Once that potential tag leaves Cousins, his true value with arise while someone like Favors is constantly getting better and has better advanced splits right now over Cousins.

If Cousins was drafted by the Nets he would've started. It's a reason why the Kings refuse to trade him. If Favors was a beast Millsap would be traded.

How many of you believe Favors is better than Cousins right now?

They don't have MKG potential defensive potential impact either. Najara hustles, Madsen hustles, I would never say their defensive impact is like Noah.

None of them are leaders. MKG is. Noah is. Big difference. You trying too hard.

Name 1 wing prior to MKG that was drafted top 3 because of their defense.

I think they are near each other. Cousins being more talented, Favors having a better understanding of the game. Both are more so inconsistent. Cousins seems to be staying the same if not getting worse while Favors is improving yearly. I don't like Cousins trend but that's what I felt he was going to be when he was in the draft. Favors trends are slower than I expected but then again, Utah ask a lot of their bigs so you knew it was going to take time. The big I like more than both players is Kanter. He will be a superstar in a year or two.

Yeah, a wing with no jumper screams superstar poential. Barnes is more athletic and versatile.

MKG is a better Basketball athlete than Barnes. Quicker, faster, better handles to use his athletic ability, etc.

Both are versatile. MKG can play three position in spots. I really think you either are hard headed and just want to argue right now.

Barnes runs faster, is stronger and jumps higher. It's obvious to the eye. Check the combine results at DX if u need data.

I watched the combine, I remember Barnes numbers but I watch Basketball. I actually see these two play. Mayo combine numbers>>>Wade's.

We'll agree to disagree. You think MKG is a better athlete than Barnes, I don't. I wonder how many ppl agree with you.
