I really don't think either of them have had the season that Davis or Cousins has had and I'm certainly not throwing either of them in over Kevin Durant. These things are always tough and no matter who gets picked, there will always be guys who could have arguments made for them.

Two players NOP is impossible for me.
Pelicans are in eighth position in the west.

I'm not sure who else you put over either of them though. KAT is probably the next up, but that's a huge drop off from either Davis or Cousins.

I think Towns over Cousins

I don't think there's any comparison. Look at these numbers:

Player 1: 35.7 MPG, 20.1 PPG, 11.5 RPG, 2.1 APG, 1.6 BLKPG, 0.9 STLPG

Player 2: 35.4 MPG, 26.0 PPG, 12.5 RPG, 5.1 APG, 1.5 BLKPG, 1.5 STLPG

There's no way you would take Player 1 over Player 2 with stats like that. KAT is Player 1 and Cousins is Player 2. Just looking at the numbers I can't see any argument.

Plus KAT defense is terrible. Its almost regressed comparatively.
