It's the Linsanity syndrome
Once teams figure his strengths and weaknesses out his stock will decline.
The really good star players like KOBE or LeBron you can't stop no matter how well you get to know their game
I agree to a certain extent with that, but there has to be a reason he's been irrelevant for 99.9% of his career.
You mean he was irrelevant because he got injured during his stint and Sacramento and wasn't given a chance to show himself because they have DeMarcus? This is pretty much his "real" chance and is making the best of it.
So you're telling me that they waived him because of an injury? You realize that he was cut after returning from injury and playing primarily in the D League? So let's say you're right and they waived him despite his vast potential, this doesn't account for the 3 years that passed since he was cut until he returned to the league. Surely another team, one that doesn't have Cousins around, could've used him. Let's not forget that the Grizzlies also cut him this summer and his agent, despite calling around the league, could only get the Heat to bring him in for a workout.
What I'm saying is that something just doesn't add up. A seemingly talented big doesn't end up toiling in Lebanon unless there are other issues that haven't been revealed. There has to be something that has caused him to be completely irrelevant his entire career.
Let's see how he handles success, rising popularity, increased awareness from defenses, and potentially more money before we all jump on the wagon.
