2013 Rookies Thread

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

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.

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.

In place of injured Carter-Williams, Tony Wroten had a TRIPLE DOUBLE!

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.

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

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?)

Shane Larkin as well.

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

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.

Bennett = BUST! BUST! BUST!

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.

He's Canadian, right?

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

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

Ouch.

LMAO

That really showed how unprofessional Mullens is.

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

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

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

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

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...

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

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.

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.

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

FUCK U STEVE.
