DeMarcus Cousins got to play a lot of great basketball with the likes of Anthony Davis. Although Cousins ultimately left New Orleans and bounced around the league, he and AD were solid together. Overall, Davis has certainly upgraded in terms of his career trajectory. He got out of New Orleans and immediately won an NBA title with LeBron James. Now, he is in the fight of his life against the Golden State Warriors. He has looked fantastic, and consequently, fans are seeing him as a top-five player again.
Recently, DeMarcus Cousins got to speak on AD and his play as of late. Although Cousins may not be in the league anymore, he still knows a lot about the game. Overall, he is someone who has always been complimentary of AD. On Tuesday morning, Cousins continued that trend while on Run It Back with Shams Charania. During the interview, Cousins went so far as to say that Davis is the best player in the league. Although, the caveat here is that Davis needs to stay healthy.

DeMarcus Cousins Speaks
“He’s probably the most talented two-way player to ever touch the floor. When he’s committed, and when his mind is focused and he’s in the right place, on any given night, he’s going to be the best player on the floor, on both ends,” DeMarcus Cousins said. “Just his versatility alone, we’ve praised his versatility since he’s stepped foot in the league. We know what he is on the defensive side of the ball. When he’s locked in and focused and also when his health is in a good place, he’s one of the best players to touch the floor.”
At this point, the Lakers could very well win the title if Davis continues on this trajectory. Sure, injuries have been an issue, but this is the postseason and he looks great right now. Moreover, he has been able to ease the pressure on LeBron James. Now, the Lakers are as balanced as ever, and they are showing the league what they can do.
