PER of 24.13, good for #10 in the entire league. Second best rookie is Thaddeus Young at 16.92. You'd think with this many games under his belt, his production would fall off but it hasn't. He's always there in the clutch making plays, night after night. The Rockets offense hit a lull over the last 6 games or so, coinciding with his absence.

I say for a rookie, he's a bona fide stud.

I haven't seen Landry play much, so is this guy just overrating him, or is he really that good? Can anyone here describe his game (and how he is defensively)? Seems like he would be a good shot-blocker, but looking at his stats, that's not the case...

Landry is beasting. Watch him tonight vs. PHX on NBATV. You'll see this man is amazing when it comes to finishing around the basket.

Okay, and yes, I've noticed his play being key. But, a stud long-term like I described? I'm doubting it.
