DeMarcus Cousins Working on His Range?

The preseason is all about testing things out and showing off what you worked on over the summer.

Kings center DeMarcus Cousins started out showing off his shooting range – his three-point shooting range.

Cousins made one of his three three-point attempts in the Kings’ 102-96 preseason win over the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night at Power Balance Pavilion.

“Coach wants me to shoot the three ball, so I’m still trying to find my spots and where to do it,” Cousins said of Keith Smart. ”That’s what this time is for, trying to find it.”
In his first two seasons Cousins has taken 32 three-point attempts, making five.

Smart laughed when asked if he wanted to see Cousins shooting three-pointers.

“I didn’t want to see it, but he was going to shoot it anyways,” Smart said. “You don’t find too many guys who love to rebound but can also shoot from distance. He’s a unique guy.”

If Cousins could become respectable from beyond the arc, it would create opportunities for him off the dribble and to drive past slower defenders.
