Centers

1. DeMarcus Cousins

Stats: 26 points, 9 rebounds 

Boogie Cousins has picked up right where he left off following an All-Star season in 2016. Through 11 games, Cousins is pouring in 26.9 points and 8.6 rebounds per game and a 5.1 BPM.

In addition, Cousins might be finishing the best of any frontcourt player at the rim this season, netting 62.3 percent of his shots attempted five feet from the basket.

Even though the Sacramento Kings are on their way to another disappointing season, it won’t be because of the lack of production from Boogie. He’s the real deal. He just hasn’t been given enough help in Sacramento.
