Is him playing pf bad because he has the body of a center or other reasons?

Generally, centers are supposed to stop the opponent from scoring in the paint and Cousins doesn't really do that at all so it's hard to call him a center. He also can stay pretty far away from the basket (which is more like a PF than a center) on offense which has benefits in terms of scoring opportunities and spacing but can cause him to miss more shots and commit more turnovers.
 
the shoe squeaking is killing my ears, but that court is damn sexy >_>

i wonder if all those stars in the center intimidates the opposition.

Don't really feel any of those players are above their ratings

Bargs on the other hand

Dwight is literally not used to getting the ball on time.

Holy shit.

This is an actual thing.

He has Jameer's voice in his head on repeat "Next time Dwight, I'm only being double teamed. You'll get yours!"

"Next time Dwight, I'm only being double teamed. You'll get yours!"
"Next time Dwight, I'm only being double teamed. You'll get yours!"
"Lisa Needs Braces"
"Dental Plan"
"Next time Dwight, I'm only being double teamed. You'll get yours!"
 
You can see the dwight effect, already. Teams are so afraid to leave him when Nash, MWP, or Kobe penetrate leaving lanes for them.

Combine that with Pau's height and passing ability makes things so difficult for defenses to defend.

Chance for some beautiful ball this season. Contrasted to how bad the Lakers O looked the 1st half of last season, heh.

Even on defense, he covers a lot of ground quickly. Even now, just a lot of outside shots.

D12 has to get used to Nash and Kobe giving him the rock when he's open. Some is rust, and some is "oh shit they know I'm open!"

Don't act like the kid isn't used to having the ball passed to him
