According to beat writer Jason Jones, Kings center DeMarcus Cousins "looks leaner than he did as a rookie."
We have Cousins projected to improve significantly over last year, and while attitude issues could be present we're not sliding him down much, if at all based on those reasons. If anything, he has a year under his belt to figure things out. Of larger concern is his 43% shooting and 3.3 TOs per game from last year. Unless you're punting FG%, he is best suited for the middle-to-late rounds despite his upside. Beyond that, he's a near lock for 16 points, 10 boards, a steal, and a block per game.
