DeMarcus Cousins signs at Mustangs

DeMarcus Cousins

Taipei Mustangs (TAT) landed 33-year old USA ex-international 211cm power forward DeMarcus Cousins (college: Kentucky). He played most recently at Taiwan Beer Leopards in the T1 League. In 14 games he was league's third best scorer with impressive 24.0ppg and recorded 14.1rpg (#2 in the league), 3.8apg, 1.8spg and 1.6bpg last season. TAT will be definitely a better match and he can see more playing time. He helped them to win the league title despite they ended the regular season at the second place. It was a very successful season in his career as he was awarded Asia-basket.com All-Taiwanese T1 League Player of the Year, Import Player of the Year and Finals MVP.
In 2010 Sacramento Kings voted him as fifth overall pick in NBA draft. The former University of Kentucky standout is in his 15th (!!!) season in pro basketball.
Cousins also represented USA at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) eight years ago. Cousins' team won Gold and he had almost 9 points per game.
He has played also professionally in Puerto Rico (Mets), NBA (New Orleans Pelicans, Denver Nuggets, GS Warriors, Houston Rockets and Milwaukee Bucks) and Puerto Rico.
