"He sets such a good screen, and he understands the angles," Warriors coach Steve Kerr told Damon Bruce on 95.7 The Game on Friday night. "He's also very unselfish. He's more than a willing passer. He's a wonderful passer."

The two-time All-NBA selection is just getting his feet wet. To many, he has succeeded expectations thus far, in particular on the defensive end:

So, what's next for Cousins? Is it as simple as getting more games under his belt and building conditioning? Do the Warriors want him to shoot more 3-pointers? Does he need to improve his pick-and-roll coverage?

"He's still learning the plays. It's not as simple as you draw it up and here you go," Kerr explained. "When you're playing and it's live full speed -- and we've got a pretty big menu of plays -- it's gonna take a few games and a few weeks to really feel comfortable with everything we're doing.
