Look at his 2010draft.com page.
http://www.2010draft.com/players/demarcuscousins.html
He averaged 15 and 10 this year... and he did it while shooting 56%! And he was just a freshman. Everyone talks about how immature he is off the court... but it clearly doesn't affect him on the court. What do you guys think of him?
No Deal!!

Favours is at least as good at this stage but without all the off court headaches. He clearly deserves to be taken ahead of Cousins. Cousins no doubt will end up being a quality player but he reminds me too much of Zach Randolph with all the weight/motivation/off court issues. That being said, he is definately a top 5 pick in this draft.

Disagree. Favors wasn't as good last season. Cousins was a first team All-American and Favors wasn't even 2nd or 3rd team All American. He's more athletic than Cousins, but he doesn't have the same offensive skills.

Cousins is more polished and ready right now, but Favors has a higher ceiling.
Favors also doesn't have the head issues that Cousins has.
Cousins also has the potential to become the next Tractor Traylor. It's a little bit worrying when the players your compared to are Eddie Curry or Benoit Benjamin.
He's going to be hard work for a coach, but the talent is there. He's still a top 5 pick.
favors isnt close to cousins at the moment.
favours could be the biggest bust in this draft.
teams just jizzed themselves over his size& length but the guy isnt that good a player.
he might be one day.
there is also a reason why favors management didnt let him go head to head with cousins in workouts.....he wouldve been eaten alive.
cousins is the best big man in the draft.
