With a career-high 28.8 points per game, DeMarcus Cousins is currently one of the top three scorers in the NBA. If Boogie continues at this rate, he would be the first King since Peja Stojakovic in 2003-04 to reach the League’s top trio of scorers.
Cousins finds himself among the NBA’s best scorers through a combination of talents. He’s channeling his inner-Stojakovic, with 18.8 percent of his points this season coming from three-point field goals. This season, Boogie is shooting a career-high 39.6 percent from long distance, six points higher than his previous career best.
Opposing teams are allowing him to shoot from deep.
