The Sacramento Kings must be nervous about the emotional maturity of their first round draft pick, DeMarcus Cousins, because there’s no other reason the franchise would hire Cousins’ high school coach, Otis Hughley. Cousins, the fifth overall pick in this year’s draft, is like a 10 year old in a giant 10 year old’s body, so hiring someone to serve as an authority figure is a good idea. Better to be safe than sorry, and in this case, sorry is having the second coming of Eddy Curry.
Cousins was the No. 1 pick by the Kings and Hughley coached him at Mobile (Ala.) LeFlore High.
“Otis has a wealth of experience working with young players and is ready to jump to the NBA,” said coach Paul Westphal. –USA Today
The Kings are hoping that Hughley can be the Bizzaro Don King. Here’s a tip, Sacramento management, when DeMarcus starts dressing like JaMarcus Russell cut him. At which point, you should hire me to run the team, because I know everything about basketball. I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you I was Bill Simmons.

Demarcus Cousins reminds of Rob Riggle’s character in The Goods where he’s a 10 year old but has some condition that makes him huge. I’m sure I’m not the only one the made the connection since I’m sure you’ve all seen The Goods at least a dozen times like I have.
You’re Bill Simmons? That’s impossible, there were no unfunny “Real World” references.
Yup … these are my readers.
