2013 Rookies Thread

Kevin love winning the MVP that year is more ridiculous than Oz walking. (Although I am quite sure Benji was joking)

[NovU]

MIP is a real stretch, it's only his shooting that's better and we already knew he was becoming an insane three point bomber a year ago.

He's also facilitating a lot more while maintaining <10 TOV%. That's insane.

[NovU]

In place of injured Carter-Williams, Tony Wroten had a TRIPLE DOUBLE! And he's just had a 22pts-6ast night with just 1 turnover. Nice, nice indeed. Wroten's a sophomore so I want Sopho vs Rook format returned for all-star weekend.

Wolters finally turned over the ball tonight but it was against the Pacers so somewhat excusable imo. I think kid's special. I wonder what would happen if he's asked to score more. He was quite a scorer in college.

Yeah, first player in NBA history to get a triple-double in his first career start.

Should be a really good, energetic sixth man for years to come. And Philly got him from Memphis for a top50-protected 2nd rounder.

[NovU]

I somewhat like his upside. He's only 20 years old, surprisingly 2 years younger than Carter-Williams.

[NovU]

Trey Burke looks like a real deal. So many PGs to watch out for from this year's draft. Trey, Wolters, Carter-Williams, Oladipo(sg?)

[deihatein]

Shane Larkin as well.

[SoF'nAwesome]

Why did Bennett disappoint? Luck favored the Cavs...or did it?

[NovU]

Bennett's just... ugh.

Shane Larkin as well.

Yeah, he's looking quite comfortable out there on the court. Surprising for his 2 first professional games. Looks like fellow rookie Mekel's out of rotation now.

[Alpha_]

Bennett = BUST! BUST! BUST!

[NovU]

I thought he was in a good situation in CLE to make an immediate impact but it seems it's not going to happen anytime soon. He's still 20 years old so I am not going to completely write him off yet though. But it's gotta be noted that he hasn't shined in anything yet, in fact awful in everything. Can't score(.168 TS%), can't rebound(12 TRB%), can't PER(0.9) lol. I can't blame people labelling him a bust already. It's a fair criticism given what he's shown us so far imo.

[Jackal]

He's Canadian, right?

[NovU]

Maybe... but I consider him just another basketball player. Go Nash and Wiggins, GO!

[Phil89]

Steven Adams ‏@RealStevenAdams 15h
How do you recover from a denied hand shake? Hahaha

Ouch.

[Alpha_]

LMAO

That really showed how unprofessional Mullens is.

[shadowgrin]

Can't blame Mullens, game was still ongoing despite the guaranteed loss.

[Andrew]

Well, when you've accomplished as much as Mullens has, you have no need to shake anyone's hand.

[deihatein]

Not a rookie, but related to that Mullens/Adams gif

[NovU]

LoL, that gif cracks me up. Cousins, oh my...

[Martti.]

So who's gonna be the Western Conference rookie of the month? McLemore? No other rookie from the west averages over 5 ppg, reminds me of NBA Live 06, when ROTM had stats like that...

[shadowgrin]

Trey Burke. Steven Adams also when he had those nice games.

[NovU]

It looks like the Jazz found some rhythm in their offense with Trey Burke running the offense. I mean they were utter disaster with Gordon Hayward/Alec Burks trying to play PG role.

[Spree#8]

Carter-Williams finally back for the Brooklyn game, Philly snaps their losing streak.

Sixers with MCW: 7-9
Sixers without MCW: 1-10

In case we start winning too much, just sit him with a phantom injury.

[_Steve_]

"MCW - DNP (vagina cramps)" something like that?

[shadowgrin]

FUCK U STEVE.
