The OFFICIAL Rookie impressions thread pt. II

[Kembastockton]

Uhh... so "starts producing" = has huge amazing games and top 10 plays in your eyes? GTFO, if you've actually seen MKG play at all, which it sounds like you haven't, you wouldn't make that statement.

More like i haven't seen Charlotte fans come and rape this board like Detroit and Blazer fans have, but when MKG has a huge amazing game, i'm sure they'll show up. Which was the initial post. So calm your t*s


what i should have said was

and/or

some one dare say anything negative about a char player

ESPN add after the Dallas Victory

Young Kidd-gilchrist Reminds Us Of Someone

From Elias: Rookie forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 25 points and pulled down 12 rebounds for the Bobcats as they defeated the Mavericks in overtime. Kidd-Gilchrist turned 19 less than two months ago. Only one NBA player ever reached those levels of points and rebounds in a game at a younger age: LeBron James did it in 2003 while he was still only 18 years old.

LeBron on Draymond Green

''He played hard, it was great competition out there between me and him,'' James said. ''I've also respected him especially in college, a big-time player and no one really gave him a shot, but you can tell he knows how to play the game.
''Any team that got him he will find a way to get minutes because he knows how to play the game and (Golden State) is a good fit for him. It was good to see him out there.''

Draymond a class act and a great guy for any nba team. Will be on a roster for at least a decade.

Lillard is someone who doesn't do anything at an elite level but does everything well. Really solid player.

He is an elite shooter. Probably the 2nd/3rd best at his position after Steph Curry/Steve Nash.

[Goldbum]

Poise is a talent in itself. Lillard has shown an incredible amount as a rookie. His game is sharp and focused. I can't say who will be the best player in this class in 10 years but PDX definitely made the right choice for the Blazers right now.

Kyrie says hi. 46/40/85 in his rook season and 46/40/80 in a Injury started year.

Say Hi back to him for me.

Lillard isn't even a top 5 shooter at the PG position.

1. Nash
2. Curry
3. Conley
4. Knight
5. Foye
6. Felton
7. Irving
8. Calderon
9. Kidd

Excluding the GOAT PG Shooter of all time Nash who has been out from injury, all the other guys have been better percentage jump shooters than Lillard this year. Can't even use the sample size argument because it applies Lillard as well.

[Ziggy Stardust]

I'm not gonna go as far as to say that Drummond is gonna be the goat center. Top 5 is a safer bet.

Okay, but now cross out all the guys who aren't rookies.

I'm suck in a time machine. I swear six years ago that was exactly what was being said about the Blazers' last Rookie of the Year candidate...

Is this serious? Do you really believe conley, foye, felton, and kidd are better shooters than lillard?

[EvanZ]

And all those guys are apparently better than Chris Paul.

[Bskey]

I think people need to clarify whether they are talking about shooting or FG%.

[jmcfaul13]

I think people need to clarify whether they are talking about shooting or FG%.

We are talking about shooting ability, which takes into account alot more than FG%.

[LOOSH]

Raymond Felton is a better pure shooter than Lillard? LMFAO

[Bskey]

We are talking about shooting ability, which takes into account alot more than FG%.

Yes, I know. That's why I'm asking. There were some guys listed that are not better shooters than Lillard, which leaves me to assume they must be going by FG% alone. That's why I said people need to clarify.

You must be r*tarded if you think Conley, Knight, Foye, Felton and Kidd are better shooters...and your only argument is percentage, stop it.
And we aren't talking about 3's only, but mid-range as well. Conley, Foye, Felton and Kidd can't shoot from 16-23 feet, they can't create shot for himself and Foye isn't even PG lol.

If all your 12138 posts are stupid like that one, I feel sorry for people who read this.

Shooting has nothing to do with creating your own shot. I'm talking about pure shooters here. All those players that I listed shoot a better weighted percentage of combined 3pt% and long 2 (16-23ft) this season.

BTW Is this the same dude from Downey, CA
