Williams' 31 points were a career-high in just his sixth game with the Kings. He shot 12-16 from the field including 3-5 from downtown. He showed impressive touch on his jumper and did a great job of anticipating passing lanes on his way to five steals. Perhaps the most surprising thing about Williams since the Kings have acquired him is that he hasn't looked out of place as a Small Forward; He's so quick, athletic and strong that it's seemed a natural fit actually. He's an absolute terror on the fastbreak, and the fact that he can rebound the ball and push it himself is great. The Kings acquired him in the hope that he would upgrade the talent base of the team. So far he's done that in spades.

His quickness on the defensive side of things allowed everyone else to look better. His ability to stay in front of his man, or to rotate to another quickly, gives the rest of the team time to react as well, rather than being a step behind because the other team's point guard is already in the paint. I don't think it's a coincidence that the Kings best defensive performance (Dallas shot 38.9% from the field and just 18.5% from three) came with Isaiah starting.

The best part about Cousins performance to me this year is that it has been so good despite the fact that there are still so many areas he could improve in. For starters, he should never, ever, ever try to play Point Guard again. Cousins had 9 turnovers and I felt like at least 4 of them last night were from him not getting the ball to his guards. I have no problem with Cousins grabbing a rebound and then pushing the break out to say the halfcourt line, but unless he has a clear path to the basket, get the ball to the Point Guard. There's also the fact that Cousins has only been averaging just over 30 minutes a game to this point of the season. If he can stay out of foul trouble and get that up closer to 36 (around what most stars average) that'll be great, because the Kings are so much better with him on the floor.
