Golden State Warriors newcomer DeMarcus Cousins is working his way back from injury, and head coach Steve Kerr has started to hint at what his new center’s role might entail.

On Tuesday, Kerr suggested that Cousins might fulfill the duties that David West provided for the Warriors before he retired (via KNBR 680).

“I think you’ll see us use him in that David West role from the last couple of years, when David anchored the second unit,” Kerr told Tom Tolbert and John Lund on KNBR 680. “I think you’ll see us play through DeMarcus, and we’ll put him on the low block and have guys cutting around him.”

Kerr went on to explain that Cousins’ three-point shooting will be featured on the offensive end.

“The other thing that we can do that we haven’t really had a big capable of doing since I’ve been here, is putting him in some high screens and popping him out to the 3-point line,” Kerr continued. “He’s a really good 3-point shooter, he’s got amazing soft hands, soft touch, and then he can pass from out there too.”

Cousins has a career three-point percentage of 33.8. He has maintained an average above 35 percent over his last two seasons.
