The OFFICIAL Rookie impressions thread pt. II

If we had only traded Bricknani to hopefully get a pick later in the draft, we could have had T-Ross -AND- Drummond.

Nightmare Season 2012.

Anywho, loving Drummond so far, definitely a fan. Also, Draymond Green for GS is awesome as well. As Stacey King would put it, he is a "hard-hat and lunch-pail" kind of guy.

Lillard has some real talent. Imo, he is easily the ROTY. The Blazers have a really great future PG.

MKG reminding of himself. 18/7 in the first half.

Deep draft class indeed. There will be some late-bloomers from this draft too. Harrison Barnes will be a good player in my opinion.

Andrew Nicholson had a great night, 22/8 in 26 mins. Fundamentally sound and poised. Terrence Ross added 16 pts in a blowout win.

While making the entire Toronto fanbase infinitely more satisfied by crossing Hedo, splashing a J in his face, then giving him a little stare down.

In other rookie news, Quincy Acy had his first massive dunk of the season. Ridiculous amount of force behind his dunks.

Nicholson is looking like he has a real nice offensive game. More of a finisher than a creator imo, but for where he was picked it's good value.

Shved with a fairly quiet 12/10 tonight, but had some pretty dimes

I didn't even see the 2nd move. Kid is a baller.

Just to remind everyone "19 YEARS OLD 6'11 AND 285 POUNDS" and not done growing/filling out yet. To be able to move that quickly with the ball is quite astonishing if you come to think of it, just an absolute freak of nature this kid.

Would like to point out that every assist attempt was bricked by the rest of the team.

And holy crap @ Drummond.
I knew he was going to be good, but didn't think it would be so soon.
He reminds me so much of Greg Oden with a tad less athleticism but a lot more health.

Happened in the Laker game too, opponents are realizing that Lillard is more important to our offense than any other player.

Head of the snake and all that jazz. Portland needs a second playmaker to make some playoff noise.

Offensive beast, that hook shot is legit!

Terrence Ross is money from three point range. Type of guy who could participate in the three point contest and the slam dunk contest. Talented.

From the Raptors board:
