Other rookies off to hot starts include Pewch Revolution favorite Johnny Flynn: 15 ppg in just over 20 minutes per game...he is really having trouble taking care of the ball however and must get that figured out if he wants additional PT.
Dejuan Blair is still a beast on the boards and an efficient low volume scorer.
Basically, all of the point guards have at least flashed a bit. Ty Lawson and Steph Curry are doing their thing. Tyreke Evans is getting a lot of burn for that pathetic Kings team and flashed with a 22 point game against New Orleans. He also seems to be taking the best care of the basketball of any of the rookies, though I can't claim to have seen the Kings or know what type of role they are using him in.
James Harden has predictably struggled to adjust to a scoring role in the NBA but did have a game he offset a 1-6 shooting game with 8 assists and no turnovers in a winning effort at Detroit. The Thunder quietly already have two wins and just took the Lake Show to OT, is this coming together sooner than thought? (probably not)
Not playing well: Jordan Hill.

ReplyDeleteHow dejuan blair was taken in the 2nd round will never be properly explained to me.
Jonny looks a bit lost as far as running the team. Needs to greatly improve his passing game.
Brandon Jennings is a G.
Shocking to me, Chase Budinger has found himself a niche in the NBA and appears to be an efficient and capable scorer.
Omri Cassippi has cemented himself as the best Jew in the NBA with his solid play, although he may have won that distinction without a minute of play.
