6'11
Play the 4/5
Stretch Bigs
& Solid post games
Technicals, fiery temperament
Underachieved for the beginning of their careers

Cousins has more potential, is a significantly better volume scorer and rebounder. Wallace was a better defender and had a bit less problematic personality. There are obvious similarities as you said, though.

Imagine these two on the same team. Perfect compliments. Sheed is pretty low USG% and spreads the floor and is a great entry passer. Only problem is they'd literally pull up their team defensive rating by a full point because of technicals.
Pay no mind to the battles you've won
It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river

Sheed in his early POR career was like DMC. A good first option and post player. I would go for DMC for pure skills though.
