With the way Beal is playing he should finish in the top 3 in ROY voting, probably number 2.

You seem to have a need for attention. You can talk about MKG all you want on here. No one is stopping you. The fact is the most exciting rookies are Davis, Lillard, Beal, and Drummond right now.

Lol. I don't have a need for attention. Id talk about MKG if he would do anything half decent. No need getting all weird because I said they should rename it the Drummond thread. Not a knock on him at all.

Nah man, you're the one who sounds weird. No Detroit fan's were asking us to literally praise Drummond like the Portland fan's with Lillard. They're actual posting some pretty cool updates about the guy.

but yeah. You just sound weird and passive aggressive at this point.

Lillard with 24 points and 7 assists tonight against the Suns.

Case study finds that Jonas V is one of the worst interior defenders in the NBA.

Does anyone else find it funny that whenever Terrence Ross dunks he always runs back on defense with a "I didn't do it!" sly grin on his face.

I'm going to take any study that has Bargnani as 2nd best in any kind of defense, with a huge grain of salt.

Bargnani is actually pretty good post defender. His help defense is another story.

I would say that was more true at the beginning of the year, but he's been pretty awesome lately. Having Rudy Gay who's been playing excellent defense has allowed Jonas to carry less defensive responsibility and he's made an impact every time he steps on the floor. At the start we had Lowry (who was a terrible defender because he gambled on everything), DeRozan (terrible), Bargnani (terrible), Fields (decent) all starting and the one that was receiving the most advanced statistical punishment was Jonas since he's always putting himself on the line.
